Phelan: Loving teachers; not liking teacher strikes

According to its 2011 Illinois school report card, Geneva High School has a 96 percent graduation rate. Our average ACT score is 24.1, putting us about four points above the state average.

The average instructional expenditure per student in 2009-10, according to the report card, is just above $6,000 for the district, which is lower than what is seen in some other area districts, meaning my teachers excel at taking resources and using them to create student success.

Recently, as the Kane County Chronicle has reported, the salaries my teachers receive have come under scrutiny.
