Dear Davis School Board Members, (boe@djusd.net)
I am so very disappointed in your leadership and continued support of the Superintendent’s agenda and request for additional salary for top administrators. You have been saying all year that teacher salaries are a priority yet your actions speak otherwise. Stop adding admin positions and stop increasing their pay!
This year I had an amazing student teacher, the kind that only comes around once every few years, and we lost her to a school 15 miles away. Although she loved being at Pioneer – she could not turn down $1,000 more take home pay per month plus a much better benefit package. After all – she has student loans to pay back!
Although I have worked for this district for 21 years and have maxed out on academic units, my pay is so low it requires me to hold a second job in order to support my family. In addition, I am unable to afford to live in the community in which I dedicate most my time and resources teaching and caring for its young people.
I am sad, mad, and very disappointed!
Culien Anderson
