Taylor firing new teachers

[Anonymous]

What is the point of pouring money into recruiting and training to attract more teachers into the profession when they come to MCPS and Taylor sends them notices they are being let go because he is pouting?

Way to kill off the next generation of teachers TT. All because you didn’t get a few extra dollars in your $3,775,000,000 budget.

Everyone knows that the last to hire is the first to fire. Plenty of teaching jobs elsewhere. Still a teacher shortage despite declining enrollment in the US.

For the older teachers, this is their second or third round of economic downturn. We don’t have a lot of sympathy. We survived those early years on the chopping block. Be flexible. Get second and third certification areas. Move districts. Go private.

New employee is less protected so easy to lay off. It happened last year to pretty much every federal agency. It has nothing to do with personal performance or workforce growth.

He needs to "prove" he wasn't bluffing. We all know the money can be found.

Have termination notices gone out to teachers already?

No, he's not. It specifically even states cuts have nothing to do with seniority. Older teachers at our school were freaking out they'd be cut because they make way more money than new teachers. DCPS did this years ago too. Fired all of the older teachers and kept younger ones. Please stop spreading rumors that are unfounded.

The BOE hasn’t officially rubber-stamped any cuts from Taylor yet. The do officially have to vote on whatever budget he provides them to approve.

There is likely insider information swirling around, but I don’t know we are going to have anything too accurate on DcUM yet.

Taylor’s latest video made it sound like next year’s budget situation will be worse than this one.

"Info from a teacher at our school"..on an anonymous forum...after Taylor already specified to the public it's not based on seniority. Sure, Jan. Sure sounds like reality to me.
