[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s worse is they increased salaries for non teachers by 5%. Central office highly paid staff get 5% more! But teacher positions are cut and school support like classroom monitors. Their priorities are so out of whack.[/quote]

You know FCPS ranks 6th out of 8 for teacher pay among local jurisdictions, right? And like 1.1% of FCPS employees are central office-- whose work includes minor matters like making sure paychecks are issued, job applications are processed in a timely manner, the massive fleet of busses that rivals Greyhound in size is operational, that the accomplishments of kids and teachers are highlighted, documented and recognized, and IT is up and running at 200 different schools for 183k kids.

Tell your company they should 86 the finance team, their HR or IT department and see how it goes...[/quote]

No private companies are handing out 5% raises to HR and other admin employees. Plus central office is also full of highly paid specialists, special program managers, chiefs, and more [b]useless positions[/b]. Many of which are filled with failed principals. [b]These people already make a lot of money and do not deserve a 5% raises.[/b]

Also, teacher pay isn’t 5 out of 8. It depends on the level of teacher and that ranking didn’t account for the total compensation package. Just salary. But I am fine giving teachers and others who work with students a 6% (or more raise). It’s the others (new school board staffers, for example) who don’t deserve a 5% raise. Certainly not at the expense of the school staff.[/quote]

Honestly, you just come across as someone who is jealous of people working in the Central Office, you don't know anything about the workload these positions manage or anything at all about the capability of this group of employees. Just because a shrew like you is envious doesn't mean these people don't deserve any raise. Get a hobby or something.[/quote]
