Yes some of them care about the education our children get and some yeah it more about the paycheck. And it shows in the EOG's... Without the Transportation department or as some people call us BUS DRIVERS the Teachers would not have any chilred to teach. We are the ones who bring the chilren to the schools to everyday.... Why isn't our job just as important? And why should'nt our raise be just as important? This should not be just about the teachers it should be about the whole CMS family we are all in this together for the same reason..... THE CHILDREN!!! It not enough that CMS takes out 6% mandatory retirment, BENEFITS ARE TO HIGH... THOSE ARE JUST MORE ISSUES CMS NEEDS TO TACKLE AFTER THESE RAISES AND AS A CMS FAMILY WE NEED TO FIGHT TOGETHER FOR MORE AFFORADLE INSURANCE.

I remember, I didn't get one and my co- worker did. But I understand why. There are many technical (read networks and computers) and blue collar jobs (read HVAC and plumbing) jobs in CMS that no one wants to acknowledge. The "market value" adjustments are an attempt to keep good workers (and in some cases ANY worker) in the job when there are more high paying jobs in the private sector. There are more openings now for school secretaries than ever before. Why? They can get a less stressful job for more money now in the private sector.<br />Everyone who rants and raves about central office costs needs to spend a day with a director in CMS to see how much manpower it takes to get the data the Feds want to the Feds! It is no small task and that is just the tip of the iceberg. <br />Central office has been trimmed to the better but it is time to stop abusing them and let them do the work along with the teachers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-50782881401501360372012-06-29T20:12:22.881-04:002012-06-29T20:12:22.881-04:00Typical CMS BS keep the money downtown/tyvola rd a...Typical CMS BS keep the money downtown/tyvola rd and forget the teachers.
