[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This original post from 2012 and now the exact same thing is happening again. Class sizes are going up again so MCPS staff get a 5% raise. Unbelievable!!

Its not just the teachers but the rest of the staff in MCPS hang off the success of the teachers union. Its disgusting that MCPS puts giving even more employee raises over the students. MCPS doesn't give a crap about education. MCPS exists to support itself. [/quote]

There is no 5% raise.  Teachers get annual step increases, which is pretty standard in the world of being paid for work.  The longer you work for the county, the more you get paid.  Teachers went four years with no increase in pay (stayed in the same step), and within the past few years the union negotiated increases to get teachers back to the step they should be on according to how long they've been in MCPS.  I think they're still a year behind, or they have just now gotten back on.

I'd love to know where the 5% number comes from.  Teachers will get their annual step increase this year, but will pay more for health insurance.  The step increase is closer to 2% and it's not a secret.  On the MCPS website, the salary schedules are there to see.  "Pay increases" are the steps, not across the board bonuses for everyone.[/quote]
