Because Common Ground operates with fewer public resources, maintaining competitive salaries and benefits is an enormous ongoing challenge. We often face difficult decisions as we work to attract and retain skilled and talented educators while balancing limited budgets.
This funding reality affects:
- Teacher recruitment and retention
- Staff compensation and professional growth opportunities
- Student-to-staff ratios
- The capacity to provide specialized support services
At Common Ground, our educators consistently go above and beyond for students. They bring passion, expertise, and deep commitment to our mission and to their work. Imagine what else could be possible if we had access to funding that more closely reflected the needs of the students we serve. Educational equity is about ensuring that educators have the resources and support necessary to do their best work on behalf of our students and our collective future!
