[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retired MCPS here - We used it to lower class sizes or save a staff member who may have been cut. So, in essence we never really hired a person. For instance if staffing was cut in social studies to .6 we would give that teacher .4 under focus to make that person a 1.0 (full time). This would lower the class sizes because classes could be assigned to this person under focus. This would leave a .6 to distribute to another department. As a previous poster stated, make sure you ask in the interview how the position would be used in the school. It could be pull outs, leveling classes, etc. Good luck. [/quote] Thank you so much to everyone who responded. This makes much more sense and I will definitely contact the school principal to get more information. [/quote]
