At some point, we need school board members that will ask tough questions before rubber-stamping $6.6M to renew a flawed, under-utilized product.

Let's chat @Trustee_Brooks, data analyst to data analyst, about Paper & why you approved a renewal.

First, the data. (1/?) CCSD's student enrollment in Paper currently stands at 172,107 unique students or 55.8% of district students.

CCSD students have held a total of 249,593 total Live Sessions in Paper, roughly 1.5 times per student who are enrolled.

Is this worth a $6.6M renewal? (2/?)

For months @cceanv has publically ridiculed @NSEAOnline & #TimeFor20 campaign.
CCEA's hatred runs so deep that their sudden about-face on salary raises now sees them raising their ask from 10% to 18%, 2% shy of what NSEA has been fighting for months to get teachers. (1/?) And if you ask CCEA why they settled on 18% & not 20%, they probably spin a tale about how costly that extra 2% is.

A 20% raise would cost ~$312,421,079.96
An 18% raise would cost ~$308,714,918.73

That difference is ~$3,706,161.23 per year or ~$7,412,322.46 for 2 years. (2/?)
