[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't FCPS just say that now they have the lowest vacancy rate since during the school closures for Covid (no one was quitting that sweet gig).[/quote]

Yes, Reid has said they have their lowest vacancy rate. They also didn’t do anything to cut costs or target raises to high vacancy spots (I am guessing special ed teachers are still in that category). Instead they proposed a huge across the board raise for all their employees. I have no idea what the union was thinking when they bargained for that. Such a lost opportunity. I’m pretty sure the vast majority of residents would support good raises based on need as shown by vacancies, or at least for just teachers and other direct student-facing roles. Instead, central office employees who either make huge salaries or do purely administrative work would get the same raises as teachers! And the county told them the amount of money that was available and the school board still put forth a budget that blew that amount out of the water. Makes no sense.[/quote]

[b]The unions did not collectively bargain for an across the board increase. They bargained for their members, instructional and operational employees[/b], which are student facing work categories. Reid added in an across the board increase when she presented her budget.

And there are still plenty of school-based openings, despite the “low vacancy rate”:

Why are people thinking they bargained for people not represented by the bargaining unit? Where is that idea coming from? [/quote]
