After a recent conversation with a teacher from a neighboring county, it seems to be a serious problem that is long past due for a solution.
As in most metro counties teachers have suffered lay-offs, furloughs, no COLA raise in nearly three years, and now the rumor is a possible re-working of the pension plans for above mentioned neighboring county.
That being said, what will be the incentive for teachers to remain in this field, when seemingly the longer they stay in this profession the less they make.
It has been argued that it is in the best interest of everyone in the community for the children of the community to receive a good education.
Being at a point where the local governments are strapped for cash flow, what options do we as a community have in this the situation?
Think of this as a project that you have been assigned, and that you will need to put forth a reasonable amount of thought before posting your reply.
Remember we all have skin in the game as property owner/ taxpayers.
If you were one of the elected officials who have to try to fix the problem, what would you do?
OK game on
