Dr.Jeff Rose is set to receive a 4% raise from the Beaverton School DIstrict as of 7-1-2013. This is based on a closed door review of his work by the school board. I am suggesting after all the appeals of how the district needed a LEVY to get $15M to get more staff in the schools, he does not need a raise. He will be up to $193K a year after the raise. Please sign this petition so I can take it to the school board on 7-1-2013 at 8:00am.

It doesn't seem right to beg taxpayers for money and then do this. give

My special ed 4th grader had to try to mainstream into a classroom of nearly 40 kids this year -- totally inappropriate and made it much harder for him. The teachers did the best they could with the limited resources but if we continue like this the BSD will see huge declines in student achievement in the years to come. Please make him and every other administrative non-teaching employee give back their raises -- we need that money for the students.

Boy do I feel duped. This makes me wonder if prior cuts and ballooning class sizes were all a stunt to convince voters that additional funds were needed. Now that the additional funds have been secured, is that the "good job" that the school board feels Jeff Rose has done? I'll remember this when when near certain request for a reauthorization of this levy appears on the ballot in five years. I have lost all trust in this district.

Are you serious? I cannot believe there is enough money in the BSD budget for this exorbitant pay raise. I’ve been told repeatedly that we’re in dire need of more funds. There’s simply no money left in the budget, the cuts are steep.. etc. Who’s lying to me? A 4% pay raise leads me to believe that everything is going well and we’re able to reward a job well done! Is MY taxes paying for this? I have three children in primary, middle and high school and ALL of them have suffered one way or another. Any one of my children’s schools would jump at the extra $8,000. Who approved this? This type of mismanagement would make me consider moving out of the BSD altogether. Had I known this would happen before voting for the levy my vote would certainly have gone in a different direction. Talk about feeling duped!

A 4% raise after BEGGING for levy money and painting a picture of gloom and doom? I knew parents would feel tricked after the levy passed - I just thought it would take longer than a few weeks.

Dear Jeff Rose, I suggest that if you need a raise, you should hold a fundraiser. There are a whole lot of Beaverton parents who could give you pointers on how to sell wrapping paper, cookie dough, and Entertainment Books.

Making over $185k/year should be enough. Let's wait to raise the top-end salaries until we no longer have budget reduction days.
