Open Letter to The Rocky Point Board of Education
Rocky Point Board of Education, please don't pierce the tax cap!
Do NOT pierce the tax cap. Do NOT cut school programs. Really make it about the kids and renegotiate contracts. Here’s one contract you can renegotiate:
In May 2010, at the height of the recession, the Board signed off on a contract with the new superintendent (Super). In addition to the usual items covered in a contract the following were also included:
Starting salary of $210.000 (up from $153,000 in 2005 for the same position) with four to six percent annual increases.
