Staffing
We are hearing from individuals that staffing "conversations" have finally begun.
In the power vacuum between union leaders moving out--I'm way behind on my emails, leaving town, and done when I get back-- and new ones moving in--but being allowed to even a second before July 7...

This is happening after students/staff have left with no goodbyes and classrooms have been prepared for summer. Plans for next year, having to start over...
We are hopeful that these are isolated incidents, that the issues can be resolved to benefit everyone, and that those in charge can find ways to support all educators and students.
One Job. One Educator.
Students require consistency and quality instruction to be successful. Please be vocal advocates for your students and each other.
