NEWARK – As in years past, requests for funding to allow for fair teacher salaries, technology and small class sizes dominated a budget hearing hosted by the Worcester County Board of Education this week.
On Tuesday, the school board heard budget requests from parents representing each of the county’s 14 schools. Aside from a few minor differences, all the school representatives want to see competitive salaries for local teachers, funding for the latest technology and for the school system to maintain small class sizes.
Officials said those requests would be considered as the coming year’s budget was developed.
“We’ll do what we can,” school board member Sara Thompson said. “It’s up to the county commissioners to help us. It’s up to you all to talk to your county commissioners and make sure they support our budget.”

Does anyone else get sick and tired of hearing about teachers salaries? Especially when they are the best paid government employees in the area. Who else works 6 hour days and get their Summers off.
