Even After the Settlement, This Topic Will Not Die

Why wouldn't the blog post information pertaining to a major conversation on the blog - teacher salaries? Both parents and teachers are blogging about them. The information is from a neutral source - Newsday. It's helpful that you point out that the info is 5 years old but that doesn't mean it's not useful. I'm not sure how a link to a chart of information is inflammatory.

The union opened up a can of worms when they put the negotiations in the public eye. Union actions have gotten the attention of the community and the community has responded. The popularity of this blog, the attendance at Board meetings, emails have been flying around town since September with all sorts of things including the link for SeeThrough NY to get actual current teacher salaries. So long as the union is keeping a high profile about negotiations, the topic will continue to be of high interest. Even after a settlement this topic will continue to be referenced. Actions speak louder and inflame more than outdated charts of salaries.
