[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is bussing anyone anywhere...it's waaaaaay too costly, so it will never happen. Period.

And you really can't blame the budget issues on immigrants. Wanna know why the budget is so high? Pensions and healthcare for retired teachers...it is what it is. They did away with pensions, so many of the current teachers won't have them. And they scaled back a teeny tiny bit on the healthcare coverage (no longer Cadillac...more like Accord). [/quote]

Are you trying to deny our retirees these benefits?

I'm on the new system, where I'll receive about 60% of my three highest years averaged.  My colleagues earn about 80%.  They worked hard - harder than most people I know outside of the profession. They deserve it.  Find a way to cut some of the waste in central office.  How about that?

Let's focus on treating our employees well - those on the front lines- who deserve the salaries made by those in the upper ranks.

60% is still really good.  How many years do you need to work to qualify? [/quote]

60% is still a crazy high percentage but it's 60% of what? 60% of relatively low salaries is not that high. I don't know what the high 3 is for the average MCPS retiree. All I know is, Starr is really well compensated.[/quote]

A MCPS teacher w/ 25+ years of experience range from 98-105K.  18 years ranges from 93-100K.  60K +/- in pension.  Not bad.

6 figures to work 9 months and tons of vacation days??  Wow - so much for thinking teachers are underpaid.  [/quote]
