by from public records

The GA is not done with teacher's and maybe admin salaries yet.

"Courtesy of Ed NC’s Alex Granados, N.C. Rep. Paul Stam, a Republican from Wake County who served as one of the primary sponsors on yesterday’s highly controversial anti- LGBT bill, is expected to file legislation soon that includes a sweeping set of changes for teacher and administrator pay and certification.

The bill has not been filed yet, but Stam passed out a copy of its key points to members of the legislature’s Selection Committee on Education Strategy and Practices Wednesday morning.

Based on Stam’s presentation, the bill would declare individual teacher pay to no longer be public record. With lawmakers expected to consider differentiated pay scales, Stam says it would curb jealousy among school teachers.

- Do we really care whether salaries are public knowledge? I don't.

- Is jealousy among teachers a big issue? I don't think so. For example, when the legislature attempted that ill-fated "sell your tenure for $500" project a few years ago, I didn't see anyone at my school jumping to get it, much less begrudging the money to anyone else. Recently the younger teachers have received big raises. I haven't heard a single older teacher speak against this -- oh, we all want a share of the pie ourselves, but no one's upset with or jealous of the younger teachers.

This jealousy thing sounds like the legislature is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Another example of them failing to listen to us.
