I love this.

The PSL for our school is has a bad habit of zooming into IEP meetings where everyone else is in the room. He is clearly checked out and not paying attention.

What is a PSL?

Total waste is what they are.

So did FCPS teachers resign like crazy as anticipated months ago? Are the number of FCPS teacher resignations and their resignation reasons publicly available somewhere?

Why would they need to only partially work in the office? Surely it’s not still due to Covid.

Why does anyone? Quality of life, job satisfaction, etc.

I’m a teacher and never cared one bit if someone who can do their office role from home worked from home. Enough school based staff fussed that everyone has to come back for optics now. Unless they have proof productivity dropped, this is dumb. They could save a lot of money if they stopped leasing willow oaks.

Right. I get that. So, that was my question. Why have they been partially in the office if it could all be done from a remote location? Perhaps it has been optics.

As a teacher, I have absolutely no problem with them working from home except that they specifically said I cannot, on teacher workdays when I do not have in person meetings or trainings. So, some employees can work from home, but others must be on site even when it is unnecessary? They can do virtual trainings from home but I can't be trusted to do so? That is my issue.

And some workers get summers off, spring break and winter breaks and others don't?

You're right, it had been a while since someone used the "anything teachers complain about is invalid because they get summers off and everyone else doesn't!" argument.

We don't get summers "off." It is not vacation time. We are literally not paid to work in the summer.

teachers really need to pick a side of the argument they want to take- we are not paid enough (but really we only work 9 months a year so compared to 12 month employees- you are paid in line with other occupations) or we still want all the vacation that no other employee in the US gets.

Obviously the sweet vacation time isn't enough to recruit people to teaching.

There are a ton of vacancies and no resumes coming in. We have had a posting at our school since Feb and still not filled.

Watch the language when they describe vacancies. When counties say "staffed" or "provisional", or use any term other than teacher, they are usually trying to distract from the fact that they have hired warm bodies with no license or relevant experience. So the vacancy numbers may appear to be low, but the number of qualified teachers has significantly declined.

Agreed. As a Special Needs parent, I really like ours. Sorry your school has a dud.

I am PP. We have two ES openings since Feb that have yet to be filled by anyone.

We have 7 or 8 special education positions unfilled and an upper elementary, a K, and lower elementary unfilled. I’ve heard that a memo has gone out to central office staff again this year to anticipate being pulled into schools.

We have at least 3 positions that opened since school ended because the teachers got central office jobs and several others are in the pools to be coaches or SBTS. Several Sped teachers have moved into general Ed in their content area, so sped is going to be a real issue next year.

I’m still waiting for all these keyboard warriors who claim teachers get paid too much to do little/no work to come join us but they never seem to step up…

DP. Same situation at my school. It seems like a lot of special ed teachers are taking the opportunity to move back to gen ed now that there are so many openings. Some of the schools are now hiring "teacher trainees" in special ed positions because they know they aren't going to be able to hire actual credentialed special ed teachers.

We had some central office employees at my school when they year began. They were not qualified, unprepared, and unexcited. I felt bad for the classes they were assigned to.
