more wasted money | posted Jan 23, 2013 - 11:31:23am
The resolution is to hire 123 teachers to meet the class size ammendment. This is the bare minimum suggested by Dr. Moll. 123 new positions, but no mention was made that we already have teachers who are not in classrooms (TOA's-some are funded by federal money and can't be moved), before you waste more of our tax dollars by hiring 123 new positions put the ones we are already paying back into the classroom, then hire what you need. Then figure out who is own the payroll who you can do without, and use their salaries, to hire new. When you have an employee making 100k, and that salary could go to 2 new teacher positions, do it. Dismantle every "special" program this regime has created in the past 10 years that does not put a teacher in the classroom, and use the money where it belongs. Mark my words taxpayers, this 123 hires is smoke and mirrors so PEG and her cronies can come after the taxpayers next November crying poverty, asking for the mill tax increase again and saying, "It's for the children". No it's not, they have the internal monies to get teachers in the classroom, they just need to stop wasting it. More education for the money, not more money for education.
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?
