Well I think you've answered your own question.  There is no money for
raises.  Wouldn't that make you mad?  And how do you know they "knew"
there would be no money for raises?  And maybe it was one of those choices
that wasn't really a choice.  You know, defeat the levy on the principle
that there is no money for raises, or endorse the levy so there is still a
school to teach at.  Simply put:  Under valued job vs. no job  Not exactly
a choice.
