Well, I’m impressed and pleased. Via #albuquerqueteachersfederation ”For Elementary educators, there is a long-overdue increase in the pot of money for leadership differentials. […] #elementary general education classes with more than one grade follow the #classsize and staffing requirements of the lowest grade level.” That, and complaints about a Georgian private school staff member giving a talk during PD led to the talk being axed. Thanks, #ATF! #albuquerque #education #schools #union

Like the Auto Workers who carried us through the pandemic to make sure the US economy didn’t tank, school teachers pulled Herculean duty to try and keep some semblance of learning underway using new methods to accommodate the lockdown.

Then exposed themselves and families during COVID’s spread in a partially vaccinated community …and watched as their already behind the times pay scale was eroded by inflation topping 8% and over 6% for over a year.

The district now wants to lock teachers into pay raises that would result in NO makeup for wages already lost…pay teachers for 3 years at an inflation rate that is the lowest it has been at any point in time in the last two years.

The state and PPS KNEW inflation was at 8% when they asked the legislature to fund them at current service levels. This is another example of piss poor forecasting and financial malfeasance.
