School Board Speech 1-22-15

Good evening, I am David Palanzi an award winning personal finance teacher at Stone Bridge High School and I serve as Vice President of the Loudoun Education Association.

Employees matter!
I am here out of concern for those employees on the top of the pay scale. I want you to be sure that they are compensated as you develop this budget.

Isn’t it true that teachers that are designated as needs improvement on their evaluation do not get a step increase?

So in essence if you fail to increase compensation to the 350 employees at the top of the scale, WELL -- what message that send to them? That they need improvement, REALLY!

I am not looking for charity for these employees, I simply want the board to be sure that these employees do not have a net pay DECREASE!

These are your most loyal employees and serve as mentors—they should be valued and they merit a pay that demonstrates this.

Show these employees that they matter -- to you by funding an increase in their compensation!


Thank you!
