All of the other unions had these raises built into their contract for years. Unfortunately some people voting yes will complain about doubling of conferences with parents and the 80 minutes EVERY Monday. Worse some may become ATR's at some point.

The fact is ATR teachers will get one day to claim they shouldn't be fired, and that ought to be enough for them. If you don't become an ATR, you don't have to worry about it so stop bellyaching.<br /><br />Furthermore, it's entirely possible there won't be any cost for health benefits, and in four years you will only lag behind nearby salaries by ten or twenty thousand. And stop worrying about the crappy pattern we're imposing on the cops. We aren't cops.<br /><br />Most importantly, here at 52, nothing will change.
