The biggest thing I've heard is that we need to see improvement on test scores. But to get that, we've got to respect these administrators and we have to let them do the best job they can. If they're unhappy, I don't think they can do that. We're between a rock and a hard place.

We've been talking about this for three months. The feeling I've got is that the majority of the board feels like there are people on here (the list) who deserve this raise.
