Have y'all seen this?

Source: PENC email We are actually getting a raise, and not just for the younger folks. I can't copy the whole thing, so I'll just hit some highlights:

A first year teacher gets nothing. Fair. $3500/month for someone with NO experience isn't half bad, and they got good raises two years (two years?) ago.

A teacher with one year experience gets $75/month this year ... and in 2018-2019 gets another $25. Again, they got good raises a couple years ago.

A teacher with ten years experience gets $25 now and another $450 in 2018-2019. That's a big deal.

A teacher with twenty years experience gets $150 now and another $200 in 2018-2019.

A teacher with twenty-five years experience gets $100 now ... and nothing more ever. So the top-out salary is $51,000.

The five-year increments are gone for younger teachers, but 15-19 years is still one big lump, as is 20-24 and 25+ years experience.

A I'm happy with the raise, but come November, see ya! We
deserve much more. I'll be petulant while you're hell bent
on voting for the current Republicans. Just know you're
propping up the people who oppress and devalue you as a
teacher.

A I am one of those teachers with 36 years.

Serious question. You're past 30 years, so you could collect a full pension -- and health coverage. Why don't you retire? After 30 years, your pension really doesn't increase significantly, and your age doesn't matter. If the pension isn't enough for your needs, you could work part-time at a job t...See More
