Please tell members of the Mifflin County School Board not to subcontract the public school custodians. We want to keep our tax monies in Mifflin County. Allowing a for-profit company to make money off our public schools is a bad idea for taxpayers, our community, our children, and our dedicated employees.
Why is this important?
The Mifflin County School Board is proposing to subcontract the school district's 40 custodians. They want to allow a private-for profit corporation to take over the work. This would mean tax dollars leaving the county, and current employees being fired. The for-profit company will make money by hiring workers at lower wages and lower benefits. In the end, subcontracting often ends up costing districts more money in the end.
