[quote=Anonymous]So many posters so much insanity.
WE OWE TEACHERS the 8% we negotiated!

The board of ed negotiated this back in 2014.  
AFTER it was negotiated, WE REELECTED two of four to THE BOARD OF ED.
If the two new members were elected because MC voters all hated the contract then they should have done something about it.
Basically, WE "RATIFIED" the negotiated contract.
Now just before it kicks in, the crazy County Council, who also could have done something about it over the last two years, is just trying to stir up #%^%!

If you don't like it, I'm sure there are equally crazy candidates running on the platform of NO TEACHER RAISES EVER this fall.

"the 8% is described here:

"About three-quarters of the $100 million is earmarked for the 156,000-student school system. In 2014, the county Board of Education signed an agreement with unionized teachers, principals and support staff that calls for a 2 percent general wage hike and a 3 percent “step” or longevity increase in September, followed by another step increase in March averaging an additional 3 percent for some school employees."

So it's coming from the two step increases that were making up for the years that they had salary freezes and I think the two percent general wage hike is the cost of living adjustment.

I'm not sure if all employees will get the two makeup step increases or only the ones that were employed when they had the salary freeze."[/quote]
