[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What? A 6% salary increase is astronomical. I was lucky to get 1.5% at my PhD level position. And because of this they have to increase class sizes? None of this is in the best interests of the students. I’m so tired of FCPS.[/quote]

It's not astronomical.  FCPS teachers have had their steps frozen for so many years in the last 13 years that we are now the bottom of the barrel for mid-career teachers, and we are losing good teachers in droves to adjoining counties.  Retaining and attracting good teachers IS good for students.  adjacent counties have far better heath benefits too.

The board needs to cut way more from itself ($120K staffers for each Board member!?!?!!!!!!!), from central office, and from outrageously high vendor contracts.  Totally agree that 5% raises for non-instructional staff adds insult to injury when class sizes are going up.

Cut outsourcing contracts, but jet for central office supplies and travel, budget for materials, and all the new Board director hires.  Not class sizes and not teacher pay.
