That 4.4 precent raise

Back during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school year, due to Scott Walker's Act 10 support staff  members felt it was best to take a wage freeze for those two years.  This voluntary act of concessions was probably in hopes the guy would back off from messing with collective bargaining, compensation, retirement, health insurance, and sick leave of public sector employees, etc.

2011-12: Admin: 1.5%, Support Staff: 0%
2012-13: Admin and Support Staff 0%
2013-14: Admin 0%, Support Staff 2.06%
2014-15: Admin 4.4%, Support Staff 2%
2015 and after all approved at the same time


More recently (after this was questioned) all the raises are now approved at the same school board meeting.  Back then months might be in between the support staff, teachers, and administrators.

So "the story" is the financial projections from the state looked different when support staff got the 2% vs months later when they got that nice 4.4%.

Bottom line: That bullheaded move created a lot of distrust between admin and everyone else.
