By not increasing the pay of these essential staff we attract more and more of a less desirable and less qualified employee. Please reconsider for the welfare of our children.

We need to be competitive on salaries or we will lose these important workers to adjacent counties.

Our staff deserve a decent wage and pay raises just like everyone else. Let's show that Durham County is a great place to work and live.

As a teacher for DPS, I know that these people help us do our jobs, and help the schools run smoothly. How can we keep our staff or recruit new workers without a competitive wage? I support our certified staff. Please sign your name to show the love!

Schools do not run by themselves. Classified staff's services are indispensable. They deserve a raise.

As a teacher in DPS, I see the hard work that our classified staff does on a daily basis. They are the first to arrive on campus in the mornings and the last to leave at night. They often are overlooked in the fight for educational funding, but we would not be able to run our schools without them.

All faculty need raises, but we really depend on this staff. Let's take care of them!

Come on Commissioners, our city is flourishing. It's time to allow some of our hardest working citizens to see some of that success.

I have not had a pay raise in 6 years. Please do the right thing now and approve a raise.

Our dedicated classified staff is essential to the work of supporting students in Durham Public Schools. The County Commission's decision was an insult to DPS and an embarrassment to Durham. They can and must do more for our staff and students.

Fair wages for our school workers includes raises to match standard-of-living increases. A 3% raise barely begins to close a monstrous gap that starves our bus drivers and cafeteria workers. It's the least Durham can do.

Classified staff are so important to our children, they should be important enough to all of us to give them a long over-due raise!

With four children who've graduated from DPS over the past dozen years, this increase is long overdue!
