Dear disgusted taxpayer and taxpayer. I found the RI Genral law that requires us to have a teacher step for the teachers. It is RI Law 16-7-29 that requires a school district to have steps. Here is the law:

RI Gen. Laws §16-7-29

Minimum salary schedule established by community.

(a) Every community shall establish and put into full effect by appropriate action of its school committee a salary schedule recognizing years of service, experience, and training, for all certified personnel regularly employed in the public schools and having no more than twelve (12) annual steps. The term "school year" as applied to the salary schedule shall mean the ten (10) calendar months beginning in September and ending the following June.

(b) Nothing in this section shall prohibit a freeze or reduction of the monetary value of the steps in the salary schedule through the collective bargaining process.

Here is the link.

I will provide additional information about the sick days when I get it. Patrick
