So Cryptic

Please let me know if you studied the crowded field of cryptology in college. I need to find someone to help me figure out how much I'll be making next year. The union and the district have resorted to a method once used by the Catholic Church to make sure that simple peons would have no clue about what was really going on. The Church used Latin to keep knowledge restricted to only a few. The District and the union are using a "fractionalized schedule" with arrows and color codes that make it almost impossible to understand what is being discussed.

If I don't understand anything about it, then it must be quite tough for a teacher moving into Florida from another state to figure out exactly how much she or he will be making here. Of course, it makes no sense to move into Florida from another state if you are a teacher, but sometimes people come here to be closer to their aging parents. Those teachers should understand that the step number has nothing to do with how many years they have been teaching. Those teachers should also familiarize themselves with VAM scores and Marzano's DQ (Dairy Queen) numbers. Then they can write a letter to their aging parents letting them know that they better learn how to use Skype if they want to stay in touch.
