Figured I'd share.

I get that, but who is making that short term gain. If the cost of operation is increased, it's pretty certain that the windfall isn't going to the county, UNLESS the goal is to bust a union, or rid the faculty of unproductive teachers, and staff. If that's the case, there are sure less costly, and less intrusive ways of doing that.

Without a lowering of annual costs to the county, none of this makes sense.

Three years ago they privatized the drivers and in doing so it cut all benefits and they have trained and lost 258 drivers. He thinks this new company can maintain drivers but they offer the same. Part time job ,hourly wage no bennies. I dont see them suddenly being able to keep drivers. They will start to lose mechanics now by throwing us in on it. We have 7 mechanics and are self supervised so no supervisor wage. 4 are retiring and us 3 left are looking for another district that has not done this.
