Should I ask for a raise?

So as yall know I was rapidly transitioned into assistant to the bus driver 14 months ago. Since then I have taken on a whole host of responsibilities. I mean I practically run this bus (besides the engine and driver). I have also taken on a bunch of additional duties over the summer (when I'm suppose to be off) like weedeating and mowing the football field. Even am going on two conferences on ball inflation technology.

My problem is I don't want my additional duties to stick the head bus driver with all of the work over the summer because let's face it, if I'm not being paid, I'm not working.


So do I ask for the raise?

including head ball inflators, fluffers, and other administrative positions set by the district and there is zero wiggle room?

That is part of the problem with teacher salaries, good ones get paid based on the same scale bad ones are based on. Years Experience. Nothing else matters.

Based on days. If you want a raise you get days added on to your contract

Most teachers are 190. Admin can range from 215 to 235. Most principals and supers are 235/240.

Bus drivers are per hour

the only way to get more money is to work more days? May as well just get a part time job bagging groceries. Would probably make more.

Or you can get a supplemental stipend

Get ball juggling classed as an auxiliary function and eligible for a stipend.

At the end of my days with the district, almost 25% of my salary was stipend pay.
Only down side is they can cut that at anytime

boy's JV soccer team. That breaks down to like $2/hour or something stupid. I looked previously, got a friend who coaches HS soccer and one who left coaching because the pay wasn't worth the time away from family. My brother dabbled in coaching baseball too, but assistant coach was pennies compared to the time commitment.

Mine was for coming in on the weekend to count out state tests and sneaking around to rat out people with space heaters under their desks.

The key is to get creative and make sure you paint the job as something nobody else wants to do then tailor it into a nice gig.

We pay more in supplements than most of the people around us

and still a 3200 supplement ends up being 2500 after taxes.

What you want is the golf or bass fishing job.

from viewing your poast.

In my experience, always ask for the raise.

If you ask for a raise, there's a good chance the person who was actually hired to do the jobs you have started doing will lose their job.

I'm sure you don't want that on your conscience.
