Your kidding me, with these economic times they are getting raises like this. One thing, they can evaluate based on how well kids do in class.
This is a rackett, I wish I could get a piece of it.
Even in times of poor economic times they get above average raises. We will be looking for this money next year.
These administrator will most likely get the same.
Yeah - BUT its ALL for the KIDS -- RIIIIIGHT . The Board needs to get real!!!
the dollar is at a 15 yr low against the yen TODAY Oct 7 2010 and we still spend money beyond the CPI for Ofa . SS has not had a raise in 2 yrs , many are out of work BUT we still spend $$ in excess of the CPI @ OFA. The enrollment is down from 2 decades ago BUT we're still spending $$ on Capital Construction @ OFA -- What is WRONG with The Board ???
These raises are totally ridiculous. With the current economic times, over 10% unemployment, and they were going to lose teachers this year. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE BOE AND THE ADMINISTRATORS. Wait the admin will be getting the same raises.
Enrollment decrease over the last 20 years almost half, but the staffing is greater. What am I missing?
Shut up and pay up.
of the 3.95%, 2% of that is contractual as it is their step process, a contractual longevity step, they hide in the percentage to tell the people the teachers are getting over, when in fact they are losing. take a way 2% that they are entitled to in their contract and that leaves you with 2.95%, add in the cost of health insurance and additional co pays for prescriptions and a teacher with less than ten years actually loses money in their paycheck.
However your current administartors received a 7% raise and turned in their sick time for more money, if an administartor is sick who monitors is sick leave???
Smoke and mirrors people. Think or inquire information before you jump. the teachers gave up their ultimate bargaining tool in health insurance for retiring teachers to receive free health insurance...
Richard Platt and the OEA are pathetic. Someone ask why Mr. Platts wife abruptly retired, she receives free health insurance and so will he when he retires in June
Thing NEED to change rrapidly Enrollment has slipped 38% across the 18 participating schools in THIS Boces District alone since the late 70's . Yet the school district has a capital expansion planned INSPITE of this fact and the fact that it is both overstaffed and has a SURPLUS of facilities given the data cited in yesterdays Watertown Times .
Ogdensburgs poulation is rapidly aging with most on FIXED income who receeived ZERO increases in Social Security or in many pensions which BTW are TIED to the CPI -- YET the school district continues to operate as if they are IMMUNE to these facts .
Voters NEED to reject the budgets until these realities are dealt with and tax relief is a fact
Anon 8:36 has some inside info but when I substract the 2 percent i get 1.95 percent. The administration is a good point and they will always take care of themselves with the BOE approval.
Why add the 2 percent in if it is a step raise something spells rotten. The public should not accept 1.95% but it looks a hell of a lot better than 3.95%. Something is wrong with this picture.
This sucks for the tax payers.
vOTE no ON SCHOOL BUDGETS AND IF ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE THE courage TO SAY enough -- nO dAMMIT - gET REl until the board GETS the message .
Too much $$ is being spent there without results . My god look at the amt of $$ spent on Athletics -- its more than many DIV III colleges
