Wisconsin School Officials Back Walker Budgets

[Madison, Wisc...] On Wednesday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker explained how the savings gained through the collective bargaining changes recently passed by the legislature will more than offset cuts in state aids to most school districts.
That formula is altered, however, if school districts rush to implement new labor agreements before Act 10 goes into effect on March 26th.
Walker was joined at his press conference with administrators and board members from the New Berlin school district.
Those education officials praised Walker's plan, noting that it allows for merit pay and flexibility which will improve the educational opportunities for Wisconsin students.
Around the state, however, many local districts are moving forward with approving labor agreements before March 26th.

@paulineprojectlove "...most Americans in the private sector are lilly soft whiny babies and couldn't hack a month in a union job."
Well, I guess you'll just have to forgive us "lilly soft whiny babies" for not wanting to pay for you ungrateful leeches anymore.

@modernfreestyle So you were a union worker and know from first hand experience of these "lavish unearned benefits?" I would love to see you and anyone who badmouths our American Union workers who keep the lights on, the trains running, the highways clear of snow, the streets clean of trash, our children educated, our neighborhoods safe (cops), our fires put out, to work one week, 'cause most Americans in the private sector are lilly soft whiny babies and couldn't hack a month in a union job.

@DillonDee1 No need to move, Kreutzer is moving to my school district in NY. He's our issue now. :(

lol, my school's Board of Ed just hired Kreutzer. Not sure what they were thinking. Luckily in NY collective bargaining is the LAW.
They are awesome teachers, and boy are they pissed. He's getting $240k for five years... they haven't even had a contract the last 5 years...

If you are not a teacher, you really don't know what you are talking about. Everybody thinks that he/she knows about education! It is the most challenging profession in the world because you are not dealing with machines or even mature people. You are dealing with inmature growing human beings with all kinds of unsettled emotions. Merrit par is not the way. Performance is hard to judge.

These are NOT educators, they are politicians. Let them teach a classroom of 40 inner-city students and then say that pay should be based on whether those students pass a national test or not.
I've never seen one school board member or superintendent agree to merit pay for themselves. Nor do they say that they make too much money, though they make six figures for working the exact same school year that the $48,000/yr teachers work (less hours per day, though).
