Don't forget to add the States share of a 3% increase to your SEV every year and see how that adds up.

What amazes me is how the Public School System works in general along with other Public Service. Ask your teacher, (or not) what their contract says about work.

The state mandates a 177 day work year.
315 minutes of student contact time per day.
Health care at a cost of $13,850.00 per year per teacher.
Retirement at a cost to the tax payer at 17.74 %
How much money is used from General Fund for athletics?
What more does the parent pay for their child under "pay to play"

At the same time, with the rising cost to the tax payer at every corner, gas tax, water tax, sewer tax, road tax, plate tax, property tax, income tax, state tax, federal tax, library tax, fire department tax, etc, etc. when is enough enough?

What is the total expenditure for Salaries and Benefits per the general fund? What has Okemos gained in Fund Equity since proposal A ? Tax payers, do your homework.

Make the schools live within their means the same as your household has to.
