Should I expect another *33%* quarter over quarter increase in property tax bill because of the school budget increase?

Fun fact: this cost will be passed down to renters. You vote for it, you pay for it.

Next years budget will again see a pretty sizable hike. Inflation is still relatively high (but slowing), tax revenue for the state is expected to decline due to the economy, and Abbott dollars subsidizing JCBOE will continue to disappear as planned.

Not to mention high cost of living means JC like NYC needs to seriously consider raises for its employees if they don’t want to have staffing shortages due to people leaving for better paying jobs. Recruiters actively target city employees in NYC right now, and I don’t think an ordinance is going to slow that down.

Wish we could get teacher shortages. Way too many bloated salaries. We have a high cost of living because of high taxes! Cut the bloat!

There are teachers who qualify for WIC… those fatcats.

That is either fake news or someone who has had way too many kids. The starting salary is higher than 60,000 and you need to have at least 5 kids to qualify for WIC at that income level.

I guess teachers are all single moms with 5 kids according to pixel_of_brain_decay?

Teachers union contract up for renewal in 2023. We now have 9 of 9 union endorsed board. Guess where this is going.
