Springfield public school principals are questioning whether their work is valued after the school board voted to deny them pay raises or "longevity increases" based upon years of service.
The blow may have been magnified by a botched vote which at first appeared to grant the pay increases... until board member Judy Johnson indicated she had voted incorrectly and switched her vote, defeating the pay hikes.
Susan Palmer with the Springfield Principals Association says the group understands that times are tough, but says there should at least be some recognition for the years of service that principals put in.
