How much more would you like teacher, Paraprofessionals and Secretaries to pay????Ummmm. For the most part, most of these people are single parents trying to survive and not live off the system like most folks. Enough with the witch hunts. No matter what, the boe
$$$ will never go down, because it is supplying the needs of the public and the private sector, which by the way the private sector is much bigger and needier.
