Nov 2017

I just retired from a CO school district after 20 yrs. as an HVAC Tech. There wasn't a single year I didn't receive a raise. A few years, the raise was short of the COA but I don't think we ever got less than 1.5%. AND we received at $250 allowance for uniforms. AND, of course, we were never expected to pay out of pocket for any parts that we might need for repairs (aka supplies needed for the job).

I'm surprised to read that CA ranks so low on $ per student.
