City Paper: Lessons in Frustration
Payroll Failure At BCCC Leaves Many Teachers Without Pay For 10 Weeks
For ace student and part-time fashion design teacher Meredith Page, Baltimore City Community College seemed like a great opportunity to teach and encourage young women less fortunate than herself.
But after going 10 weeks recently without a contract or pay, Page says she’s fed up after just a year and a half on the job.
“This is the third semester in a row I haven’t been paid on time,” she says. “There’s a different excuse every week. I have a mortgage and bills to pay. The school doesn’t care.”
