She is complaining about 10 months pay but don’t forget Xmas break, February vacation, April vacation , half days before vacation so in reality it is like 9 months
The teachers put their own money in to fund their pensions. It is not a freebie
Not exactly. Their contributions fund the annuity portion, and the investment gains from those contributions are what funds part of the pension portion. That's a little simplistic, but that's how it works.
Hope the Russians are counting the votes. I trust them before Melrose government any day.
So get out and make your vote matter. April 2 2019 .Vote NO ON APRIL 2 2019
The Mismanagement lack of Transparency and Coverups. No on any Override.
Fire and Polce buildings and equipment were NEVER part of ANY conversation about the Override or need for new taxes.
Specific and deliberate decision by “One Melrose” and Illegitimate Gail. I voted NO and predict Melrose and Police did, too.
I'm trying to look at the bight side, in that at least those of us who have never had, and never will have, children in the Melrose school system, only have to pay to educate other people's children through high school. Or maybe the next override will be for $5 billion, so we'll have to pay for their college education also! :)
But it’s so much fun to get your cocoanuts in an uproar this early in the morning!
Some things to watch in the future with this fresh infusion of cash:
1) Have student outcomes improved? MCAS, ect.
2)Have teacher retention rated improved from 85%
3)How many school administrators will receive large raises for essentially doing the same job they have been doing? Remember, these proposed raises are not based on merit or performance.
4)Watch the new teacher contest when it is renegotiated
5)Watch new enrollment numbers to determine if the flood was actual or imagined
I have to “run right out” now and remove my “no” sign, I’m SO embarrassed 😄.
I’m sure that all the “yes” signs will be gone very shortly, because they (the “good guys”) wouldn’t want to rub our noses in it, lol.
Well that’s interesting. Someone has already removed apparently all of the “no” signs in my neighborhood. Thanks, I think, although I do not recall having given anyone permission to come onto my property!
That is interesting....
It is what it is.
The next override request.
Every resident should take the the time to view school committee meetings at MTV if they can't make the meetings in person. It is an absolute "educational" experience to see just how dysfunctional our school committee is and how undemocratic it is run.
