A lesson in percentage

Ewwwwwwwwwwww, story problems! Yuck!

...But it's interesting, though. Couldn't make the meeting, but I'll pass on the smack on what went down.

^!^!^!^!^!^!^

The BoE has used percentage as a justification of salary raises.  They have stated that the raises granted to the administrators as reported in the press, have averaged 1% to 3.5% as was stated in a meeting.

Yet our Director of Curriculum and Instruction received a 5.9% raise.  It was also stated in the minutes of the BoE that we paid an advisory group $20.000.00 for a report to the public as to the need of a new school building that will house 2nd graders only.

If the school system is comprised of grade K-12 and that 75% of the school system’s population is in grades 3-12, and we have a growth in the school system of 1% - 1.5%, that means we potentially are going to spend __________ million dollars for a new building that will only serve 25% of the schools population.

Should we have spent the $20,000.00 to this group or should we have spent more? Should we have spent less?  It’s only a percentage of your income!!!  Please come with your questions, it will only be a small percentage of your time!!
