Stop Governor Rick Synder from signing the order to impose a 10% pay cut on DPS employees!
Why is this important?
Over the last 4-5 years, Detroit Public Schools, has had 3 Emergency Managers. All have come in with 6 figure salaries, brought in an executive staff with 6 figure salaries, closed schools and left with the school system still millions of dollars in the red. Their solution to balance the budget is to cut employee salaries, raise health care premiums and increase class sizes, which is detrimental to students and staff. Teachers took a10% pay cut last year and now they are imposing another 10% pay cut this school year. DPS cannot cut its way to prosperity, particularly at the expense of the employees,whose salaries and benefits are not the reason it is on the brink of bankruptcy.
I'm starting this petition to bring this attack on education to the forefront. We must stop the politicians from raping the education system!
