San Marcos district declares impasse with teachers
Don’t believe a word the union “boss” DeVries says. He is a complete liar.
They have known for years this was coming and they still took their raises year after year. All the while the district has cut programs and raised classroom sizes to accommodate the Union demands all with money directly off your kid's backs. Now the district is at its end of being bullied and the Unions finally have to take a cut.
Welcome to the recession Michael.
Raising taxes is not the answer! RUNNING A FISCALLY PRUDENT DISTRICT IS THE ANSWER. If you vote for Brown’s taxes you will pay more and still get less because it will only go to raises! Stop the madness.
