If teachers are at the top of a pay scale in a district, that says some good things about your district. Your district is retaining veteran teachers who are experts in their field. That's exactly what you want to have happen. A good school district has a nice mix of veteran and new teachers.

Remember: those teacher at the top of the pay scale are making money because they have put a lot of time into their profession - both in the classroom (as students themselves) and on the job.

And finally, a Google search led me to this: http://fc.sau45.org/Financial%20Info...hersalaryA.pdf

... it might be of interest to you....[/QUOTE]

Argie,

All this is meaningful information. But may be there is another reason that the Moultonboro Teachers top out over the rest of the State? How about guarantied yearly salary increases at levels way above what the Private sector can offer in todays economy. I can not see "negotiating" a 3.5% and higher contracts year after year, especially with a declining enrollment.

My company as lost 40% of its' core Business over the last 15 months. We have had to make drastic cuts in personnel, forgo raises and eliminate cost of living increases to hopefully ride out this recession. By doing this and other things we did show a very small profit for 2009.

We need to curb the out of control spending in Moultonboro!
