School Budget Revote

[djprint]

When is the revote on the budget?
We all must stick together again and VOTE NO!
It's not about the children . . .it's about BIG FAT BENEFITS and BIGGER SALARIES. We must remember, these teachers do not work a full year. They have every major holiday off and 4 more weeks of breaks and holidays. They have summers off. Why does it cost close to $12,000 a year to educate each child when the private sectors, Religious School, Montessori can do it for under $5,000?
Our taxes are decreasing the values our homes. People are fleeing to North Carolina where you can get a house for half the price and the taxes . . $1200 a year.
Something has got to give and it's not going to be the taxpayers ANYMORE!

Depending on which district you are in the votes are on different days. Unlike the "Super Tuesday" vote, each district picks a day in June. Most likely before school ends. Check out News 12's website, they have a partial listing. I do not know which district you are from, otherwise I would hae posted.

[Tired of taxes]

Response to djprint It cost $16,000 per student in Mt Sinai. Really bad but people don't seem to understnd the budget process and they just vote yes all the time and then complain. VOTE NO. tHE NEW STATE LAWS LET YOU KEEP TRANSPORTATION, sPORTS, CLUBS, ETC.

Stand up and be counted No more money

A little late but here is an answer to
WHY it costs so much more for the public sector than the private ones to educate YOUR child. First of all public schools must take everyone. No passing of special tests to select the best and brightest. Also the public district supplies the texts for the private schools for the children in their home district. Did you also know that students with special needs, OT, PT, speech, and any other special education need found on an IEP is provided by the home district. In addition, home schools provide the transportation to an from the private schools.
this is all state or federal law. So please understand that you are not comparing apples to apples. Also budgets do not vote on salaries or benefits those are contractual. Tell me, do we vote on police salaries? As far as my day goes, I am in school from 7:00 until 4:00. I go home and grade papers or work on plans for approx. 1-2 hours. And yes, I have summers off, but compare my salary with professionals with like education and I make much less. When I call a parent at night or on a weekend I do not bill at $50 to $100 per hour. It is free.
As for taxes in NY compared to North Carolina...everyone there makes less money. I'm sure you would too if you moved there. The people flocking there are retirees with pensions from NY! So try doing alittle research before you sound off.

[Long time teacher]

Thank you for saying everything I wanted to say. Also people not in our field also don't realize that our job doesn't just end in the office. We take home not only the paper work but the emotional part of worrying about each youngster and how best to help them 24/7. Also spend the weekends preparing lessons. My summers are spent educating myself on the new material out there in the every changing field of education in order to keep up with the state changes. We are not just teachers but, moms, dads, doctors, lawyers, and more to each youngster we work with.

[yes/no]

new year what do we do????????????????????????

[say no 2005]

[The WHOLE truth]

-Yes salaries are contractual, however, few school boards treat the teacher's salary issue & negotiations like a PRIVATE BUSINESS would. Tell us, who gets AUTOMATIC raises every year? Who gets LONGEVITITY PAY? Who gets TENURE in private industry? Nobody. And who in the business world can pass their pension investment losses onto the taxpayer to recoup every lost dime? Nobody, we just have to learn how to live with a lesser pension.

So don't play off your outrageous salaries and perks like it's a non-negotiable issue. It's only treated as such because few school board members have the BALLS to confront the issue and attack head-on like private industry would.

-Your day is 7-4? And an hour or 2 of grading papers/lesson plans? Oh poor you. People stand on the LIRR platforms at 5:30 am and don't get back until 6-7pm. And they DON'T have the summers off, and 6 other assorted weeks a year. I grew up with a teacher and I KNOW you're not grading papers for 2 hours a night. Lesson plans don't consume that much time and they're not a daily event either. And after a couple of years of teaching the same class to the same grade, it's a cakewalk and you know it.

I don't know what to say

sounds like this person really has this teacher thing pretty well nailed

Amen to that. nothing like hearing a teacher complain. They've got 3 days off the past 2 weeks b/c of the jewish holidays. Where I work you only get the holidays off if your'e jewish.

[oh well]

So then change jobs if you dont like it. The grass always looks greener on the otherside of the street. Stop complaining and move on. Its losers like you that ruin it for the world.
By the way I suppose you only get off for VETS day if your a VET also too bad I will think of you when I am at the mall all day :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[blah blah blah]

blah blah blah. Stop I'm dizzy
