yeah our teachers are getting laid off in a couple of months. It sucks to see our best teachers make their departure. We sure are going to miss them when they're gone.
one of our teachers was up in arms about it when she found out about the layoffs and everything, and she came over to speak to our history teacher to talk about how some people are whining about losing a couple of thousand dollars while they are just getting cut by the district. She was demanding that people show up but many didn't and so i don't know we'll see. let's hope that the good ones don't go because then we would have to get stuck in a small class with about like 40 or more students. i wish our school only had like about 100 students because really enrollment this year is down from last and once the seniors graduate from high school, we would have 400 fewer students. Plus, some of the current freshman and sophomores may want to transfer schools once they find out how crappy it has become. Not that the teachers are, but the programs that they offer simply aren't benefiting us majorly. |

Who gets laid off is determined not by skill or experience but by time on the job. The last ones hired are the first ones fired. I've been in that situation many, many times. In most cases, if they work for a school district and not an individual school, it is required that they be offered a job somewhere else in the district before the district looks outside to hire people when the jobs become available again. I know it's rough all the way around. I was "surplussed", a nice way of saying "fired" my first three years of teaching.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
