They wanted across the board raises for every employee. What baffles me is why teachers in the union didn’t advocate for that un their collective bargaining. They agreed to an across the board raise for all.

Also, I’m don’t think senior leadership team falls on the slide within “central office management.” So it is probably more than 1.1%

Well, the numbers you listed above add up to 100 so which category would they fall into?

I don’t think FCPS is claiming that leadership falls within the “central office management.” Where are you seeing that?

Sorry, I wasn’t being clear at all- was typing quickly on the go. I was just trying to point out that the central office category is more than 1.1%

Here’s how I’m reading it:
Slide 7- 92.5% of staff in FCPS are school-based (teachers, IAs, custodians, office, principals, food services)
Slide8- 1.1% of staff in FCPS are central office management (HR, finance, instructional)
That leaves 6.4% for non-central office (leadership, bus drivers, maintenance workers, technicians, security,etc)

You’re looking for a breakdown by teacher/IA vs everyone else. It’s not broken down like that.
