On Monday we received a letter from our principal stating
that due to lower than expected enrollment and the
resulting budget issues, we have all (staff, teachers-full
and part time) been asked to take a voulntary pay cut. The
amount we give up is to be decided by each of us, and we
need to let the school know by Monday what our decision is.
The only person who will know what (or whether) we give up
is the financial director. Our principal will not know who
gave, and how much.If enough is not given up then there
will be across the board pay decreases and layoffs. The pay
decrease they are hoping for is 10% of each salary, so it
is very significant.
I am wondering if any of you are or have ever been in a
similar situation and how everything is working out at your
school. Needless to say, we are all scared and upset. It's
difficult to teach and work under all of this stress. Any
advice? Thanks.
