I was a parent volunteer in the highschool, and I have volunteered all through the years my daughter was growing up. At first I thought the teachers should take a few days w/0 pay, but after reading the comments, I think the administrators are the ones that get too much $, and they should be thinking about pay cuts.    I see the long lunch breaks the city employees take, and I'm paying for it.  I don't get any paid lunch break.  I think someone should examine all these "salaries" our public employees are getting.  Plus, I donated my $762 kicker, to provide for lean times, and now they are making me pay tax on it.  If I donate my kicker, it doesn't really do much, unless everyone does it together.  Let's work together here!
