[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a new Principal = turn over after year one, but based on information going put overTwitter, it looks like all of Special Ed, half the Counselors and many, many teachers.  We will have an incoming freshman there in September.  Can someone on the inside share what they think is going on?[/quote]

Ah rumors, where would DCUM be without rumors?

OK, here’s what’s really happening:

1. Yes, there are a lot of SpEd teachers and paras leaving.  The RT is leaving as is her husband who is a para in the department.  Five other SpEd teachers are leaving for various reasons.  A few so they can teach closer to where they live.  Not many teachers can afford to live close to Churchill.

2.  Two counselors are leaving.  One is becoming the Counseling RT at Blair (a promotion).  The other is taking a leave of absence to pursue other things.

3.  There aren’t “many many teachers” leaving.  Three World Languages teachers are leaving.  One is going to Rockville to join their hard of hearing program.  She teaches ASL, so it’s a great move for her.  Another one is leaving to be closer to home (see a pattern there?).  There are also two Science teachers and an English teacher leaving.  That’s a grand total of six additional teachers leaving.  Definitely not “many many.”

Churchill probably has about 120 teachers not including the Bridge and Autism programs.  14 of them are leaving.  Yes that’s turnover, but nothing drastic as implied by the OP.[/quote]

Almost 10% is still pretty dramatic. If someone said 14 of 120 we’re leaving Einstein, DCUM would claim that was rock solid evidence of death throes.[/quote]
