I’m not addressing the fairness of what happened at college though, am I? I’m only speaking to their current roles as teachers.
Learn about how school boards handle budgets and especially teacher salaries. The budgets aren’t really X amount of dollars a school year. It’s broken down by FTE and PTE. If that district has, say, 16 5th grade FTE roles established, and three of those in that school, how can TWO of those be used up in one class room?
Schools aren’t for profit. This isn’t about underpaying them to squeeze a profit. They have established FTEs and can’t go beyond that.
I think you’re forgetting something rather important here though. They are LEGALLY two separate people. They would both have their own social numbers and tax forms to fill out regardless how much space they take up or their ability to separate.
So regardless what the school board wants they still are bound by the labor laws within the US and must compensate EACH employee accordingly
You have any source that states they only applied for one job?
Point is nobody but them actually knows what’s going on. But what we do know are the laws! Yay! And only hiring and paying for one job when it is accomplished by two people is against labor laws
