Journal:County Schools Need To Improve
Looks like Kennedy needs some work but the rest of the schools in the Ogdensburg School district did well. Lets give a hand to the teachers.
No Kid Left Behind will be the demise of our school system.
We need to pay the teachers more money for working 180 days per year. It is hard for a teacher to live on 40-50 K per year. Plus all of the benefits. Right Fred?
40 -50 that estimate is a little low. Thanks for that great contract Fred, they pay 500/year for insurance but get 3% raises every year. Sounds like the tax payers lose again!
40-50K are you kidding me ?? - their PENSIONs are way MORE than that in many cases .
If you want a real shock look at the current payroll out there and you'll be amazed.
Remember enrollment has declined, yet the Board spent 57 million on new facilities/remodeling etc when there is a surplus of space due to declining enrollment -- shameful waste IMHO
LOOK up pensions and payroll on the See thru NY website and BTW look at the prison retirements and the Psych Center
