The 65 percent includes TEACHERS' pay. So, what does this plan solve? The NEA will love it.
Either buy more teachers or attract better teachers with the money from fired bureaucrats. Localize the decision. At a minimum, it’s a step in the right direction.
"The NEA will love it."
It gets rid of many administration, featherbedding jobs, held by union members. It's not likely that'll be a warm fuzzy.
It's not anti-teacher, it's anti-bureaucracy.But I'm not sure that the plan's author has considered that the NEA's approach to meeting the 65% requirement would be to simply demand that the teachers be paid whatever the administration is already getting, times 65% divided by 35%.
