Proposed salary increases for Rhode Island Department of Education Commissioner Angélica Infante-Green have sparked significant backlash from the union representing her professional staff. During a public hearing held on Tuesday, union representatives voiced their dissatisfaction with the raises outlined in a three-year contract extension.
The union argued that the proposed increases are inappropriate given the current challenges facing educators and the education system as a whole. Many staff members feel that the focus should be on improving conditions for teachers and students rather than on higher salaries for leadership roles. Concerns were raised about the impact of these raises on the overall budget and resource allocation within the education sector.
Union leaders emphasized the need for transparency and fairness in compensation, advocating for a more equitable distribution of funds that prioritizes the needs of educators and students. The hearing highlighted the growing tension between educational leadership and the staff who are essential to the functioning of the school system.
