Did this really happen? I find it very strange that there are no photos posted of the plane in the sky towing the sign.

Staffing decisions are made in the spring into the summer in every district. Negotiations and the ratification of contracts always go into the spring and sometimes into the following school year - that is usually when you have heightened labor activity. I'm sure some would like to know right now if they are going to get 8% next year or 9 or 10%, but I've never seen an agreement happen before the spring. The district was quite clear in what they offered - 8% and then 4% and increased coverage of 75% of insurance costs plus guaranteed class size reduction. I suppose you take issue with them stating that the cost of that is almost $22 million which is equal to a 19% raise. I'm not prepared to do the math to know if that is correct or not but the other numbers are quite clear. Meanwhile, the union started with a $26 million total ask. By the looks of it, they really are not that far off. In regards to last year, the district did provide teachers with a one time payment that they did not have to do - I'd have to say that I've never seen a board do that before. Usually if you make a deal - that something is off the negotiating table, both sides respect that. That is how it works because you can catch up the following year with the items of interest. I do recognize that teachers, just like most people working in this area, need more money right now, but things don't move that quickly and there is a finite amount of money available.

Momma - That was a sonic boom produced by the first stage booster descending for a landing back at Vandenberg. We don't often hear one that loud because most of the booster landings occur on a drone ship in the Pacific.

That was the return of the booster stage for landing at Vandenberg.
