MASON CITY – The Mason City School Board will meet Monday evening at 5:30 PM at the Administration Building and vote on a proposed agreement with the teacher’s union for a raise of 3.32%.
The tentative agreement with the Mason City Education Association (MCEA) is a two-year agreement. The estimated total package the first year is 3.32% with a $950 increase in the BA Base salary and a $1250 increase in the BA Base Salary for the second year. The MCEA ratified the tentative agreement on May 23, 2014.
Personnel reductions will be discussed. Resignations will be presented to the board. Contracts of staff who withdrew their request for a private hearing will be terminated. Some staff may be reinstated if the district needs them.
Other items, such as bids for dairy and bread products, Blue Zones and out-of-state trips will be discussed.
Does anybody know what the total cost of the agreement is going to be? The School District doesn’t mention that.
Just a short time ago Anita was trying to fire Bob
Kenny because funds were so short. Seems to me that the above is the relevant question.
Blah Blah Blah… If u have never been a teacher, you cannot understand. Just as I have never been a ditch digger, construction worker, retail clerk or fast food staff…. We all only want what we want…. The other side of the fence is always greener. But, there is one truth that is out there.. If you get your H.S. diploma, you will make $ 1 million dollars more in earnings over your lifetime… And, I hope to god that we have good teachers, educating my kids– and go on to further schooling.
Only a 3.32 percent increase for salary & benefits ! Wow, those poor public educators
Doing it all for less for the KIDS. Question. How many in the private sector and even
Some public sector are getting a 3.32 percent increase each year for two years?
Not the US military or Social Security retirees.
The ,”Sad Songs” line form the Sup’t. Is getting old. Never enough additional money
To satisfy the education establishment. They are entitled to what they want. Remember
“It’s…
Make all administrators teach one class a day.
Yeah. Let’s give them pay freezes or better yet pay cuts. And if they quit we can just go to job service or temp agency and hire more. Of course they can’t spell or read very well but they’re just teaching kids
Of course they are asking for a raise. Didn’t anyone see this coming? That’s all Anita cares about is her hefty paycheck. She doesn’t care about the school staff that are losing their jobs. She doesn’t care that she put the district into debt, only cares about herself. When will our school board get their heads out of the butts and get rid of her!
Let’s elect Snowbird to the school board.
News Flash!!
There are more Gov’ment workers than voters to stop them from paying themselves anything they want. We done lost control of our pocket book at the voting booth.
Can’t even vote the buzzards out. The bunch of money grubbers anyway.
Boy were the voters a bunch of dumb ass’s.
Letting teachers go, but doing raises? That makes no sense. How about a wage freeze at City Hall or State Employees & pay the teachers more & keep them.
Clear Lake wants their own Superintendent.
How about we give them Anita?
You people in the private sector can just shut the hell up. Even though you all have been forced to work more for less, thats not the way we work in government, or with government employees.
YOU just work a little longer to pay for OUR raise. In government, debt does not matter. Even in a shrinking system, we will not make cuts, and for goodness sake, we are never going to settle for less! Get to work to pay for our increase, and no more bitching about your next property tax increase either.
Those darn evil teachers getting a 65 cent per hour raise before taxes!!!!!! They are rollllling in the money!!!!!! How DARE they accept this!!!
Really? Really, they will AGREE to a raise?! Well, how nice of them to agree to it. Well, I guess I’ll agree for you to give me more money. I wanted more but I’ll agree to it I guess. Isn’t that nice of me?
well when you teachers start getting cut because of debt, you wont get a towel from me to wipe your tears that’s for damn sure. Just f**king pathetic.
Here we go again. No money and deep in debt but still giving raises. Didn’t they ever hear of a wage freeze until the get rid of the superintendent and get control back. What does it take to get their attention. I guess 37 million in the hole is not enough. Just a bunch of over education dummy’s.
