3% COLA Remains in Finalized Budget & No Increase to Class Size

All employees will receive a 3% COLA and class sizes will not be increased!

Credit goes to each of you who became active during the budget process (whether you wore a "We're Worth More" button, attended a budget meeting, spoke at a budget hearing, emailed the BOS and SB, ensured that your colleagues and others were informed about the budget, etc.).

It is the collective work of LEA that brought this success.

LCPS Budget Reconcilation Messages


Message to Dr. Hatrick (edgar.hatrick@lcps.org)


Dr. Hatrick,


The recent years of frozen salaries have been difficult for all LCPS employees. Given that fact, I want to express my appreciation of and support for your recommended budget reconciliation which retains the 3% COLA for all school employees, and ensures that class size limits will not increase for the coming school year.


Sincerely,

Message to School Board Members (lcsb@lcps.org)


As an employee of LCPS who has endured the hardships related to the recent years of frozen salaries, I write to you asking for your support of Dr. Hatrick's budget reconciliation recommendation. Maintaining the critical components of the 3% COLA for all employees, and holding class size limits at current levels are so important to me. I urge your support of these items when you act on the budget next Wednesday.


Sncerely,
