Yeah why don't you start by cutting Kevin's salary so we don't have to pay to put our kids on a school bus at $600 a year. This is absolutely ridiculous and *bleep* poor management in my opinion. Fire everyone and put some new people in there!

Two positions eliminated and $450K saved? $225K each? And they say teachers don't get paid well.

I thought the NDP supported schools and teachers to no end? Could you imagine the blame and belly-aching if the conservatives had won the election?
I guess mis-management is the norm in NDP world.

We need to get rid of Kevin. He’s doing a poor job.

None of the positions that were cut/not filled are for teachers, they're administration. The absolute maximum a teacher in SD23 can make is $109,520 and that requires a full completion of all progression steps and categories. (Source: BC Public School's Employer Association).

Kevin's wage needs to be cut. He makes over $300k. He's not getting the job done. He manages to get fancy new schools built while RMS sits there falling apart. Its deplorable. Yes its a provincial list, but he's not exactly showing us he's advocating hard. He actually removed it from rebuild status to renovation status and still nothing. The school is from the 40's and has already found to have espestos.
