This school had also had home games on Tuesday. The principal made a point of telling me how much he appreciated us sticking it out during the stoppage. He went on to say he had voted against the pay raise at the last meeting, but he now intended to vote for it when it comes up again in the summer.
Reading this, it seems to me that the walk out helped change the principal's mind. At the very least it could of brought to light how unhappy some officials are about the embarrassingly low pay they receive.

But seeing as how it was only 4 of the local chapters, and given your state association's track record, I'd bet a pay raise isn't coming soon.
