FCTA asks delegation to oppose threat to pay hikes
The Frederick County Teachers Association opposes state proposals to penalize counties that raise teacher salaries. They seek to protect a 6.35 percent raise and local control, arguing the plan could undermine collective bargaining and local decision making. Del. James E. McClellan and Sen. Charles Smelser oppose using state funds for raises, while a $74 million contingency reduction could be redirected to salary hikes if tax increases pass. The letter draft stresses that local resources should be decided locally and questions state leverage over county decisions.
