^^^ This is how NYC solved the problem for public school officials. When the teachers get a raise, so do we. I don't know how they managed to get the deal but it's in place. We just received a raise last season and I think another is coming up this season or next.

No offense to volleyball officials but if you get bad officiating in a volleyball match chances are no one will get hurt. Bad officiating in a football or basketball game can lead to kids getting hurt and/or fights. Heck, even good officiating can't stop those things from happening sometimes. If the LA folks stick to their guns something ridiculous will happen in a game officiated by volunteers - if the LHSAA goes that route - someone will be sued and the problem will solve itself.
