I got a "Welcome to the 2003-04 School Year" letter and inservice training schedule from my little academy today. I like the WDM system where you get a paycheck with the inservice schedule (A BIG paycheck because it includes summer school salaries!!) This letter had the exact opposite - the board passed a pay freeze. . . BUT they'll pay to have my CPR/ 1st aid cert updated (that's a nice little perk). Also there will be more diversity among the teaching staff this year (YIPEE!!) and Nazi-Drill-Sargent- Don't-Take-Nuttin'-From-No-One Teacher is going to take the toughest class (That'll make life so much easier!!!!!!) I'm looking forward to school starting (although I dread THREE WEEKS of inservices - that's insane!)
