I may end up on the #WCPSS Board with you, so this is a conversation that will need to happen. I don't know anyone who doesn't want teachers to be paid more. The question is how it will get done. Typical of one side is the argument: just pay them more...

Currently the WCPSS budget allots almost 90% to salary and benefits. 58% of the NC State budget goes to education. So, where does the money from and how is it used to increase teacher pay? There are arguments for/against merit pay and for/against longevity pay...
Both need to be part of the discussion. It's not fair to punish a teacher financially for a class that may perform poorly on tests, for reasons beyond her/his control. Likewise, it's unfair to reward a substandard teacher simply because they've been on the job for X # of years...
