IT'S A FACT

The management of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District has attempted to depict the members of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Congress of Teachers as greedy and unconcerned with the welfare of the District. This area of our website suggests reasons why the public may want to think otherwise.
1 - Last year the Assistant Superintendent for Business received a 10.75% salary increase. The members of the PCT received an increase of 3.575%, the average increase in Nassau County.
2- The Superintendent's contract obligates the District to pay him a car allowance of $500 per month. Members of the PCT who uses their cars for District business are reimbursed the IRS mileage rate.
3- Teachers who retire from the District receive payment for heath insurance of 50% individual or 36% family coverage(s). Central office administrators in our District, who have substantially higher pensions, get 75% of either individual or family coverage paid by the District.
4 - Despite having layer upon layer of administration, the Plainview- Old Bethpage School District had to spend $754,157 on outside consultants last year.

$754,157 on outside consultants??!!!! Do you know how many wonderful, experienced teachers that would buy??!!!And enable us to keep class sizes small??? Where the heck are Central's priorities?
ReplyDeleteWake up, administration works all year round. They do not work the same 180 days the teachers do. You can not compare two jobs as though they are both teachers when they are not.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, you have to spend money to attract talent, more specifically, someone with the necessary experience to do the job. I assume that in order to be a school superintendent, one would have to have many years of work experience. That person does not come cheap. The $754,157 -- someone should explain that.
