    The PR spin coming from the district makes me dizzy. SBUSD is saying their salaries for NEXT SCHOOL YEAR after their proposed 8% raise, will be higher than THIS YEAR's salaries in 7 other cherrypicked nearby districts. Note that their list is conspicuously missing Goleta Union, Montecito Union, and Hope districts (i.e. the places where the cost of living is most directly comparable to Santa Barbara). Also, all the other districts are likely to increase their salary schedules by at least 2% for next year, so it's a totally misleading comparison. They are cherry-picking data to support a claim that is not really true, "This raise will make us #1 among local districts." If a student tried to argue from evidence like that on an assignment, they might get a C if the teacher was generous. SBUSD is also saying this is "equal to a 19% raise over 2 years" but they don't really provide reasoning or a rationale for how they got that number. They are offering an 8% raise, followed by a 4% raise the following year. Even compounded, that's only 12.32% raise over the current salaries. So I guess they are included the increase in their contribution to health insurance premiums? But those vary widely based on how many dependents a teacher has and which plan they buy (if they buy one at all -- most teachers whose spouses work in other industries are on their spouse's insurance plan since SBUSD's insurance is such a bad deal). So it may be a 19% increase in the district's costs over 2 years, but it definitely won't be a 19% increase in total compensation for every teacher. Administrators who would publish such spurious and misleading arguments to benefit their own self-image should not be in charge of educating our children, and should certainly not be earning cushy 6-figure salaries from our taxes for this poor quality of work.

    Teachers work more than 186 days a year. They put in a lot of unpaid hours in order to do that job 186 days a year. That 106 is end of career--20-30 years in with a masters degree. I bet that is not the ceiling for engineers.
