[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is 3% + a step.

[list]$80.9 million to provide a market scale adjustment of 3.0% for all employees. 
$58.2 million to provide a step increase for all eligible employees.
$4.3 million to provide a step extension for all scales.[/list]

I'm not sure what you want from FCPS.  The Fairfax Board of Supervisors needs to raise taxes further if you want big teacher raises.[/quote]
We do want greater increases for teachers because we believe they deserve them.

What we want from FCPS is to stop spending on contractors and lawyers.  The money allocated to social engineering programs and to protect FCPS employees who break the law should be plenty to increase teachers salaries more significantly than proposed. No need to raise our taxes more than they already are. What we need is to redirect expenses by prioritizing what really matters: Our teachers. They are our boots on the ground when it comes to educating our children. Panorama Education, Planned Parenthood, Sidley Austin LLP, and other contractors, are not.

Thank you many teachers feel this way -gatehouse does not listen nor care for it's teachers and school support staff. They send out constant surveys but do nothing with the feedback and to be honest most teachers don't even want to give feedback because they don't truly believe it's anonymous and nothing changes when we do. Gatehouse is a huge waste of money-all the "experts" sitting in offices. It's demoralizing. Teachers, admin, IA's are leaving. Parents need to direct their anger and frustration at the Gatehouse issue-but instead it's directed at schools. FCPS IS TOO BIG![/quote]

+1. I wish FCPS would release the Employee Engagement Survey to the public. Bottom line is that Gatehouse was viewed unfavorably by just about everyone who works inside the schools.[/quote]
