They released our budget....

NO COL increase
NO step increase
INCREASE in class size

ugh!

AND they're probably restructuring the bussing schedule so that my kids would start at 7:50, not 8:40

At least I'll get out earlier so that I can start the second job I'm going to have to get

ETA: I am so greatful that I do have a job since I know that so many right now do not... I'm just frustrated because so many fluff programs are being kept at the expense of teacher's salaries.

that stinks but look on the brighter side..you have a job!! sooo many people are gettin laid off... and if you enjoy your job that's all that matters...could u do tutorin or something on the side...could help you

Re: They released our budget....

It stinks- it's really a pay cut because you have to teach more kids. I'm waiting to see next year how NYC has been hit. I had 38 kids one year, during the "good" times. And it sucks that the kids have to suffer for the mistakes that adults made.
