The 2006 Benefit Committee is pleased to announce that proceeds raised from this year’s benefit, Cincotti in Concert, to be held Wednesday, May 24, will be used to increase teacher salaries.
Competitive salaries are critical to Brearley’s ability to recruit and retain teachers. Despite their excellent qualifications and talent, our teachers are not generally among the highest paid in New York City.
To pay for salaries, Brearley relies on three revenue sources. The largest is tuition, followed by the Annual Fund and investment returns from the school’s endowment fund. When you buy a ticket to the benefit, your money will supplement funds already designated for salaries. It will help pay for an immediate increase beyond what tuition can typically support and allow Brearley to catch up with the competition. Last year’s benefit was instrumental in funding a nine percent salary increase. This year the benefit committee is again dedicated to rewarding our teachers while working to avoid further additions to the tuition burden.
Everyone can help by buying a ticket to the Benefit or, if possible, offering underwriting support. For more information on underwriting opportunities, visit our Underwriters page.
