Shame on Sal!

Most of the time I am for raises to school budgets and funding, but a recent approval by the Danbury Board of Education to provide additional increases to administrative pay wages is both shocking and enraging. The Superintendent's reason for the pay increases is to, keep staff from leaving the Danbury education system for other school systems, are you kidding me?!! If they want a more money then please do leave! If any staff of the education system deserves a raise its the men and women who are in the classroom teaching our kids day in and day out. Secretaries and administrative assistants can easily be replaced and should be replaced when they become greedy. In addition, if the Superintendent is so concerned then he should give up his 3.8% increase to give to others in his offices. Further more, shouldn't the City have a say in this matter? The city sets the yearly budget and if they want more money then they should request it for the next budget. Speaking of, I'd like to know where the money for these pay increases is coming from? Shouldn't the money be used for more important things, like healthier school lunches or more teachers? Shame on you Board of Education and Superintendent Pascarella!
