Seems like a workable deal Op. Oh, that's until the next round of negotiations. Unfortunately every few years their salary schedules will go up by one, two or three percent so that ceiling will automatically raise. If it doens't, you end up with ten year teachers making as much as those who were around for twenty years.
I think the thing is, people are just frustrated with taxes and the schools, being the largest taxing body are a target. City employees here in GC , working for the street department have many of the same benefits as do the schools. Until unions are not allowed in the public sector jobs, you will always have a moving target on salaries and benefits.
