The reason the teachers were hired in the first place was because the school system…

Other factors can also contribute to the way in which increases are awarded; these include explanatory circumstances such as illness and family responsibilities. As the leader of my department, my budget is $5,780 for salary…

I am in favor of a merit pay system in Indiana under the right circumstances. I think that teachers are underpaid for what we do. I also feel that there are strong economic arguments that support a merit based pay system for teachers. However, I feel that such a system is nearly if not totally impossible to implement.

When cracks have been filled, potholes patched and fresh sealcoating applied, your parking lot can have a dark, rich color and a smooth, level surface. However, if you are not having striping and other pavement markings applied your parking lot will not be as appealing as it could be. In addition, it will be less safe for everyone who drives or walks on your pavement. What you might not realize, however, is that your…
