Several Bay Area school districts are wrapping up negotiations with teachers unions. But "me too" clauses in district administrators' contracts ensure leaders get identical salary raises as their employees.
Unionized teachers have expressed outrage over 'me too' clauses, which they say overpay administrators as districts are cutting programs and laying off staff to conserve financial resources.
Tri-Valley teachers have said they are feeling the financial burdens of high cost-of-living in the Bay Area and that without appropriate compensation packages, they will either be forced to move districts or leave the industry.
