Not hardly!
“If teachers work harder, have more responsibility, reach more kids, put in longer days and produce impressive results there is a reward. We get less! Never mind that the day has gotten worse at all levels. Forget the fact that 80-90% of the reduction (savings) in the district budget the fat past 5 years has come from reduction in the number of teachers or that reduction in the number of teachers is helping to pay the cost of the red plan. Ignore the significant decrease in teacher morale and the increase in stress. We should expect to celebrate the improvements in student test results while the school board acts to reduce the number of teachers and then cuts compensation for those who remain. This has to be the ISD 709 version of quote ‘Incentive pay.'”
