School Board Follies

THIS time I've put a reminder clock up to remind us (me) of this year's budget vote. We can defeat it. It was so close last year. I see RTA is about 520 members, which means current average salary tops $60,000. At an hourly level, it's around $35 an hour. Being a union, the teachers making less that half that will be getting the ax if the School Board can't beg, borrow, bully or steal the difference in the money they have to the money they want.

I'm going to be brief since I have a backlog of newspapers as it it. School budget vote is May 15. If anyone knows what the general voting locations are, let me know.
