Sorry for the title mix up. Here is the text for this post...

"I believe I can speak for the majority of the elementary teachers when I say we do not want 1/2 days for professional development or meetings. We want time to teach our students what they need to know. We have no say in when or how many days we have early release, etc. It is dictated to us from the SAU. Do not lump us in with those that make decisions."

I’ve had a few teachers contact me about the Early Dismissals and Late Starts in the schedule. This response is typical (copied from a contact received last night). I have told La Salle and Suzanne Judd that I would support adding five days of pay to the budget if the teachers would agree to ‘develop’ on their own time. The fish rots from the head and I think we could replace the school board and the superintendent.
