Taxpayer Guide to Education Spending 2020 - Middlesex County

 Well, just saw the guide and here's the Ratio of Students to Classroom Teachers and Median Classroom Teachers Salary for Middlesex County. 

Edison's Median teachers salary for 2019-20 was $96,455, which was up from $93,758 in 2018-19. It wasn't just the highest in Middlesex County but the highest in the State for K-12 school districts. And that's before their latest contract settlement that runs from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2023.

Makes you wonder who is representing us, the taxpayers, over there on Mythomania Lane.

As I said to my friend Jeff Bowden, President of the ETEA - good job looking out for his people. Only wish we had someone on the taxpayers side looking out for us rather than the usual distortion - first they give the money away and then they say over the life of the contract that there's nothing they can do about it, it's contractual. 

Yeah, first they give it away and then say there's nothing they can do about for the next 3 years. Here's a thought - Don't give it away.

Anyhoo, pay attention to what goes on with your tax dollars over there on Mythomania Lane.
