That's unfortunate to read as some of your suggestions should be standard. I also agree that the pay structure should be one that incentivizes good teachers to want to work here.

The general sentiment I've gathered from the JC Reddit crowd has been disdain toward the Board and the administration, not the teachers. My perspective is that more transparency regarding where the money is going is a good place to start. With a clearer understanding of where every dollar is spent, the hope is that it will be easier to advocate for better allocation of funds. Maybe we can fund some, if not all, of your suggestions.

Not a stupid question. Q1 and Q2 of 2023 are set and really shouldn't shift. Q3 is when you'll usually see a change due to budget changes with the school, county, and city. Assuming those budgets continue to increase next year, you will likely see a larger bill in Q3 and Q4.

Q1 and Q2 are lower than Q3 and Q4 because the budgets for the school and city are decided mid-year so if there is an increase from last year we will pay for it all in those two quarters.

We need the city to partner charging station provider to start placing more charging stations around the city. It will happen, but it does seem like we’re moving slowly on something that will better improve the city’s visibility nationally and improve the life of its citizens. It’s hard to not see 4 charging stations per city block, two per each corner of a block. It will just take 5 years to get to that point.
