[quote=Anonymous]I'm copying my post from the other thread, since this one appeared while I was typing (very slowly apparently):

Sherwood and Damascus HS are the only two HS without any open teaching positions. A couple others have only 1 or 2 spots, but most have 3-8 open positions. (74 1.0 FTE, 118 total HS teaching positions right now.) When principals get staffing allocations in February, it is based on projected enrollment. Then they use their course requests to assign that staffing. There is flexibility in how they do the sectioning and decisions they can make about under enrolled and over enrolled courses that influences who they need to involuntary transfer. If enrollment changes later on, or course sectioning needs to be adjusted, that can affect teacher assignments within the school. I wonder if enrollment at Sherwood dropped significantly, or if this is just an attempt to balance staffing and solve some of the worst problems at other schools. During the pandemic, with the advent of the virtual academy, they had to shift staff between schools - that was covered under the MOU I think. It seems that the same idea is being applied here, but without an MOU in place.

The article is misleading because it doesn't distinguish between teachers assigned to a different school (which is not normal and not covered by contract) and teachers reassigned within the building (which is allowed). [/quote]
