ACPS will assign under utilized specialist teachers (arts, music, physical education, special needs) to more than one school.

Judging by the supposed pushback and teachers speaking out and that it made Washington Post, [b]the dissent is only and predictably from Del Ray (Cora Kelly and Maury/Brooks)[/b], against the more populated but poorer, less powerful, under staffed West End.[/quote]

Time for them to experience what the West End schools get and to experience what they overwhelmingly voted for. [/quote]

What schools will it affect? I'm assuming the bigger schools in the west end will still need a full time encore person??? Or are they trying to make it affect everyone in an equally bad way?[/quote]

Judging by the responses on record, it sounds like the problem is schools on the West End are understaffed and those basically in Del Ray are overstaffed.

The fact is it’s cheaper on the West End, more families, and those are the schools that are or were growing.

Del Ray is aging, so the needs 10-20 years ago aren’t the same as today.

So it’s perfectly reasonable to have a teacher at Cora Kelly or Brooks to fill in shortfalls in the West End when the district realizes they won’t have certain positions filled. They work for the district, not the school(s).[/quote]
