SCTA claims the district can afford to recruit and retain educators and is in"the best financial position in its history." The district denies it is proposing pay cuts and said it is proposing 100% health coverage for SCTA represented staff and their families on a new health plan or 80% coverage on the more expensive old health plan.Horwitz said in the past the district has said they do not have enough funds and sent pink slips to teachers, then later in the year claim they made a mistake and have a surplus of funds.
"Our folks are the lowest paid employees in the district. A lot of them make minimum wage are just barely above, even when they've been there for decades. And they haven't had a cost of living adjustment in six years. The superintendent, who's making over $400,000 a year and just got about 10% [adjustment] this year, is saying that all they deserve is 2%," Smith-Camejo said.
Geez the superintendent makes $400,000 a year and just got a 10% adjustment and thy want employees to accept a 2% pay increase? My goodness.
Offer more pay. It’s that easy.
