Locks Over Kids
This week employees of the Los Angeles City Schools received their current copies of Spotlight, an employee newsletter. One article in the newsletter announces a school district offer of a 7% increase in teachers’ salaries. This would bring the beginning teacher’s salary up to an amount just under $22,000 per year.
The same newsletter has another article on a young woman who has just been hired as a school-district locksmith. Her salary will be $31,532 per year.
The people of Los Angeles should demand that their Board of Education care more for their children than for locks. At this time the reverse is obviously true.
