[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This decision seems more about money. The city is hemorrhaging money. To be able to start school early in August - they need to stop paying teachers ASAP. They work a 10-month year and there is no money to add more, even if teachers were able or willing to. Charter teachers are on one-year contracts. They have to sort that through before whacking 3 years off the school year. [/quote] You can’t “stop paying teachers ASAP”. Teachers have already earned the money they get paid in the summer. A portion is taken out of their checks beginning in August to put aside for summer pay. Also this year’s contract is from August -end of June, DC can’t just ignore the contract. You can’t ask teachers to work more days and not pay them for the additional services. If next school year starts early it will most certainly end early as well to keep from having to pay teachers for additional days. [/quote]
