I currently have high hopes for our district--sort of. Right now the
district is in the process of down-sizing, closing several of the
elementry schools. A few will be remodeled and others will be closed
permanently. Battle Creek has a fund equity of about 25 million dollars
(the highest in the state of Michigan), and the school board has no
interest in touching any of this to help appeal to possible new
teachers.
It would be in the best interest of the district to increase starting
salaries to attract high quality teachers. There seems to be no
interest
in keeping teachers hired into the district. It is all about the bottom
dollar. This hurts the education process and moral at the school. We
are an inner city school. We need the highest quality teachers, long
term, in order to best teach the students of Battle Creek. Other
districts are attracting students and teachers by opening up new schools
and paying more.
