So the complaint is that the superintendent got a raise of $38k while the teachers had to deal with increased classroom sizes and no raise. My question is how many teachers work for the school district? And how much do they currently make?

Let's say there are about 160 teachers working there. If the $38k raise was divided evenly among the teachers, then that would translate to a little less than $500 per year in raises for each teacher. If it's more than that, say about 500 teachers in the area, then the raise per teacher becomes less than $100 for the year, which wouldn't realy be worth fussing over. However, if there are only 80 teachers, then I could probably see how the raise would be beneficial at about $900-1000 per year.

While I am skeptical of the complaint being made without knowing info like this, I do agree that she shouldn't be arrested for asking this. If the board couldn't afford to give raises to everybody, then they could have said so.
