Search again, some openings are showing. I wonder what happened.

Maybe they read this thread?

I looked and it’s a Multiple Disabilities position. Those are some of the hardest roles to fill in all of public education. It can be a very physical job on top of the IEPs and paperwork. There is a ton of openings for it county wide.

Yes, I noticed that. One of the positions specifically says “autism.”

What happens if they don't fill the autism class teacher position? Do they send the kids elsewhere?

I don’t know. Ask the principal.

Yes, they will bus those kids to a different school that has a staffed position.

Better than nothing I guess, it's a difficult job, should come with hazard pay.

I am guessing they put in a long term sub while trying to fill it?

Very low chance of getting a long-term sub for these positions. More likely a rotating cast of daily subs.

That’s what happened at our school this past SY, but it was only for about 3 months.

This is bad.

There’s still the whole summer to hire someone. Please don’t start panicking now. Summer just started.

I’d imagine the only actual teachers available this summer are a few who might be moving from out of the area due to their spouse’s job. New grads were hired months ago and transfers have already been placed. That leaves nobody to fill the vacancies except subs (and good luck finding them!).

July is the tail end of the hiring season. Principals have been able to hire since March so majority have accepted jobs. It’s really only about a month and a half until school starts. New teachers have great beginnings (orientation) August 5 and teachers are back in school prepping on August 12th.

I guess you’ll just have to keep blaming the new principal then, won’t you? Because that’s clearly all you want to do. (Psst - no one is buying it.) Have a nice, relaxing summer, if you can with all the worry about vacancies.

Unhinged much?

On the contrary, I’m very relaxed. I’m happy with the new principal and look forward to new faces in the fall!

You should volunteer your kid to be in the class that will start the year off with no teacher since you are so relaxed.

Worry about your own kid - otherwise you are just fear mongering.

That makes no sense. How is it fear mongering if there are so many open positions and it is almost July? It is plausible that not all will be filled. Get your head out of the sand.

Why don’t you wait and see what happens come August 19 before freaking out? Do you have any summer plans?

No one is freaking out but it's normal to not be so laissez faire and hope everything works out. Do your summer plans take over your entire summer?

I don’t spend my days worrying about how many vacancies are at a specific school at the end of the year, no. I have confidence our admin will get them filled come August 19 and I will be back here then to say I told you so. Have a good summer and maybe try a Xanax.

Looks like I was right - all vacancies are filled and it’s not even August! I told you!!!

Uh, I have at least 3 at my school that haven’t even had interviews.

How do you know?

School buildings are small places, and some admins talk a lot.

No technically, but many still do. You get blacklisted from the county for three years but if you don’t care about that it really doesn’t matter. July has a lot of “leaving the field” quitters .

You MIGHT get blacklisted and they MIGHT threaten to come after your license but given the shortages, you’d have to REALLY pi$$ someone off for that. I know a couple teachers who left very last minute a couple years ago and their schools still reach out asking if they want to come back.

Not always....this is a county wide issue.

Yes, they will bus those kids to a different school that has a staffed position.

I am noticing new vacancies pop up. What is going on?

Teachers leaving the profession, suddenly changing counties in the summer, or enrollment need shifts.

What’s going on? Positions are becoming open because of a number of reasons. Could be someone decided to quit. Maybe they are moving. Perhaps they are taking a different job. Who knows? It could also be that students are registering and the school now has the need for a new hire.

This happened to use a few years back, a few kids registered in early August and we have to open up another 2nd grade class (the others were too close to capacity).

One week there were no vacancies, now it is many vacancies, not just one teacher but many support positions, counselor, esol teacher, disability teacher...

Maybe the principal never told HR to post the positions. It’s pretty late, but if so, they’ve one the prize for procrastination!

That would be the epitome of incompetence.

Is there a counseling shortage too? Just counted 17 positions for the county
