[quote=Anonymous]Good news: The 10% increase is in fact NOT necessary to accommodate the increased pay for teachers, according to Jennifer Martin's own mouth.

Source: https://moco360.media/2023/05/10/school-officials-send-joint-letter-to-county-council-pushing-for-more-funds/

[QUOTE]According to the letter, anything less than an eight percent increase in budget funds would jeopardize the hard-earned fruits of salary agreements between MCPS and its employee unions and force the parties to return to the negotiation tables.

“For over five months, we have bargained night and day in good faith to determine how to fairly compensate the MCPS workforce,” the letter reads. “Thanks to this collaborative hard work, all associations have reached tentative economic agreements with MCPS; however, at least an eight percent-increment increase is needed to fund our negotiated agreements.”[/QUOTE]

It's kind of stupid to throw a hissy fit at the council demanding the full 10 percent funding, knowing you've signed a letter that says you'll take 8 percent, but we all knew MCPS was asking for more than what was essential anyway. 8 percent increase sounds more reasonable and they're much more likely to get that than the 10 percent.[/quote]
