Will Haglund and his cabinet also get the 4.5% that teachers are getting?
Trustee Miller,
I agree that the negotiating process this time around was difficult; especially for teachers and parents. It is important to clarify why it became ugly. The negotiating process was contentious because the superintendent and his cabinet secured generous raises for themselves (3.5% each year plus benefits) before settling with teachers. This was approved by the Board. And when negotiating with teachers the district wanted to offer less than one percent. The superintendent was responsible for the tension and conflict, and you all are responsible for supervising and evaluating him.
Trustee Laursen,
I agree - let's make PUSD competitive again. But, let's do it for teachers as well.

The article states the cabinet and other non-represented groups will get the increase. I am glad for the teachers, but what a s*** show this was because of Haglund. He needs to be sent packing, along with board members who voted for their contracts.
