So the complaint is about managing within a budget?

Many teachers work hard. So do most people in other professions. But this ever increasing expenses is not sustainable. Allow teachers to freely contract, individually. Allow schools to freely contract. Guaranteed employment and retirement after 20 years are (expensive) relics of the past.

Expenses grow and change. Allow the school administration to decide how to operate within a budget and hold them accountable.

Freedom and accountability. What a thought.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
