Thanks for linking to my post. I received 4 new comments this weekend from new readers!
Thanks for the mention. The California Department of Education released average salaries for all the school districts in the state. My district rates as one of the lowest in the state and we are the lowest in my county.
Over the past five years, the other districts in our county gave their teachers on average a 10% increase in pay. My school district? We received a measly 4%, which does not take into account the increase that we pay for health benefits.
I strongly believe that the teachers in my district have already shouldered much of the burden and we are still wrangling to get a contract settled that expired in June 2008!
