The School committee made cuts and these positions and raises are within the budget. The School Committee budget will not go up this year because of these increases. The step increase was $29,000 and the raise for the administrators was $55,000. So, for far less than the cost of 1 teacher salary, 67 employees got a small raise.

Here is how it was done: We have chosen NOT to fill positions and have eliminated positions. Administrators have absorbed additional tasks and responsibilities WITHOUT additional compensation.

This is the equivalent of a 40 cent per hour raise. The administrators have not had any raise 3 of the last 5 years. They have received about $1.50 an hour raise in 5 years and the School Budget has NOT gone up in the same amount of time. The school budget is at the same level it was at in 2008.

The school committee understands the concept TheCaptain, the city council and Mayor should take some lessons from the school side.
