I'd Like an Explanation

What are buy backs? What does the board refuse to discuss? I read on the PCT's website the imformation posted. I'm not sure I understand the differece between what the board is offering versuses what the PCT is requesting. Can you explain?

I also agree that it is harmful to our district to have so many administrative changes and that many seem to be overpaid. Unfortunately, that's not what is being addressed presently. That doesn't mean the board should have to give a larger raise to it's teachers. What can parents and teachers do to resolve this and get the best education for the children of our community?

Most parents were not aware of the salary increases of the administrators. The teachers contract is due to the PCT bringing to the attention of the community.

I plan to go to the board meeting. Initially, I felt that the teacher's should just sign the contract. Now I'd like to have an explanation of what the PCT wants but without involving what is occurring in other district. Several were mentioned on the PCT website, but many surrounding districts were not. I hope the contract gets resolved soon for the sake of the community.

  1. What ever the teachers want , it is too much. We can not afford to give the teachers any raises at all in this economy. our taxes have gone high enough.

  2. BUYBACS OR CONSESSIONS ARE WHEN ONE PARTY IS GIVING SOMETHING BACK. IE INSTEAD OF THE SINGLE TEACHERS PAYING NOTHING TOWARDS THIER HEALTH INSURANCE THE BOE MIGHT ASK FOR THEM TO CONTRIBUTE 20% TOWARDS THE COST OF IT.

    ONCE AGAIN IT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!! NOTHING ELSE.

    ASK THE UNION OR ASK THE BOE THEY WILL BOTH TELL YOU ITS ABOUT THE MONEY!!!
