Nah. This is an absolute SLAP IN THE FACE for any RPS educator that has stuck it out through the past few years. Teachers are leaving and getting ready to leave schools that were never previously “hard to staff”. This year has been especially hard. They announce 12k sign on bonuses without even mention of a retention bonus is hurtful no matter how you try to spin it. That cute little 12% raise over time is cool and everything, but the way our healthcare cost constantly increases as well as the cost of everything else increases, it really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I assure you that many many many teachers are disheartened by this and it has swayed some folks toward the exit door who were previously on the fence.
