Would’nt you be mad as heck if your $64 thousand salary for 9 months work was in jeopardy?

The current average salary for a Strongsville teacher is $64,450 . . .

For a 9 month a year job! And I thought the average in our district was overly generous at $60K. This, in an area where a pretty decent home sells for around $130K.

HEre in NJ many teachers cost a lot more than that (which is why the state is in a death spiral). The nonsense about saving money because subs cost less is a crock, too; in most of these negotiations back pay is given to the teachers for the time spent on strike.
