If untaxed overtime becomes policy…

Then under no circumstances should teachers complete any work outside their contract hours. We are educated, degreed, and experienced. If someone in an entry-level position has their time and work valued in such a way, so should we.

Not taxing overtime is an acknowledgement of the sacrifice people are making to benefit the entity they work for. Not that we’re any better than people in other professions, but I can think of no other profession that expects its workforce to work overtime, not get paid for it, and like it.
