Parents and Teachers in Quesnel are outraged at the news that the School District 28 (SD28) Board Trustees have given themselves a $5,000 raise. “Fair compensation reduces barriers and encourages greater diversity and community representation.”With the approved raise, SD28 Trustees will now make $19,321 from $14,231. The QDTA said in its statement that parents are also upset and concerned with the situation, as the Trustees’ raise will allegedly directly cut classroom funding. School Board Trustee Tony Goulet was the only trustee with a dissenting voice and voted against the raise. At this time, the Quesnel School Board Trustees have been unavailable for comment.
