On their own volition, 51 school administrators and non-union secretaries volunteered to freeze their salaries and forgo any kind of pay increases. The news was announced at last night’s School Committee meeting.
We have known for some time that FY10 is going to be a very difficult budget season. Several weeks ago, we noted that as a community we would all have to dig deeply to come up with a solution to keep the system intact. We were happy to report last night that we have a group of administrators and non-union staff who came together and voted to freeze their salaries and forego any increases for FY10.
That’s 51 employees who took the initiative, stepped up to the plate, and put on the table a solution which involved personal sacrifice. It is a clear case of leadership by example and it sets the right tone as we continue on this difficult budget journey. Our heartfelt thanks and admiration go out to this fine and dedicated group of educators .
