I don’t think teachers will get 7%, but I also don’t think it will be zero.
There are plenty of other options in surrounding counties, especially with the current teacher shortage. The 7% was supposed to bring FCPS teacher salaries closer to what other counties are paying their teachers, so if FCPS doesn't come through, there are better paying options nearby.
I think a few of the fired Feds might step up and transfer to teaching positions. This might help the shortage, for now.
