POBTeachers, this is what your employers are saying...

What was explained at the BOE meeting was that the teachers ARE getting raises by being there another year - it's built in - called steps.

Each step has an increase. The contract would raises would raise the amounts set for those steps.

It was pointed out in the presentation that for some steps, over two years, the rate of salary increase was 8%.

That is without anything additional being added to the table.

The union is unbelievable! They are holding the children hostage. Every community member should let the School Board know that they have our support!!

The union needs to teach and cut it out NOW. Maybe when they have cut out the bullying and one sided-ness in the district, I will have a little sympathy.

Maybe we should start by not posting things anonymously!

Right, and have the teachers single out our children. Do you for one minute believe that that doesn't happen. Please their Union leader makes an announcement at the board meeting that teachers will be writing letters of rec. for college but when the kids ask the teachers they tell the kids when we have a contract! The Principal wants the parents to give him the name of teachers who say that, yeah sure so they can go back and mess with the kid who ratted them out. Tell the Board to stay the course, hell tell the board that the teachers deserve less!!!

  1. Since it's inevitable that the BOE will cave - 2% raises have been offered - they might as well put in something in the contract for exchange for the extra money.

    Elementary teachers in Syosset and Hicksville come in early one day a week to provide extra help for kids who go in on a voluntary basis. Why not start that here?

  2. Or how about allowing the teachers to teach a 6th period? This would cut down on shared staff between buildings and the practice of hiring just pieces of a teacher. Every teacher could be there 9th period for remedial and the district would actually save money.

  3. I wish teachers in other districts cared as much about the students as plainview teachers do.
