There is a $12 Million deficit Kingston School District Crisis. We the taxpayers demand to know that the Kingston School Board's starting teacher contract negotiation position is set up to present a budget with a maximum of 2% property tax increase. Also, the public demands that teacher step increases & contract salary increases are temporarily suspended. Also, taxpayers demand that the teacher's union health insurance fund be dissolved and that the Kingston Teacher's union health plans are 50% paid for by the teachers. In addition, the teacher's health benefits will be pooled with the health benefits of other surrounding school districts in order to get the lowest health premiums.
Fellow taxpayers, please join in with more taxpayer demands and suggestions to help to save the education of our children as a priority over teacher compensation.

We the taxpayers demand to know all of the local school boards' starting teacher contract negotiation positions. Also, the public demands that teacher step increases & contract salary increases are removed from local contracts. Removing Step increases for longevity and for teachers taking coursework is a local decision. In private industry, can you imagine getting permanent raises for taking courses. What a luxury. It is NOT a state mandate. Why not remove this unnecessary luxury from local teacher contracts? If there are any school officials out there, please reply to the Removal of Step Increases from Teacher Contracts!!
Let us agree. Kingston Schools must get rid of step increases for longevity and get rid of pay increases for taking courses. This is a local decision (no state requirement).
This is an open letter to the Kingston School Board President, Jim Shaughnessy. What is the savings for the year 2012 budget if we get rid of step pay increases for longevity and get rid of pay increases for taking courses for all 5 operating unions in the Kingston School District?
Open Question for the Kingston School Board
This is an open question to the Kingston School Board President, Jim Shaughnessy. What is the savings for the year 2012 budget if we get rid of step pay increases for longevity and get rid of pay increases for taking courses for all 5 operating unions in the Kingston School District? Remember, NY State does not mandate step increases or coursework increases. Also, do you know any private company that gives permanent pay raises for taking courses? Since the Kingston School Board has a $12 Million budget shortfall and since they are negotiating right now for the next teacher's contract, please reply to this taxpayer request above.
