[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Principals can absolutely recommend non-renewing a teacher’s contract as long as there is appropriate documentation to support the decision. That’s a good thing given the fact that some teachers aren’t effective and/or do something immoral, unprofessional, and/or unlawful. Here is the Board Policy describing Just Cause for dismissal: https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/8KNHE54811F8/$file/R4293.pdf[/quote]

And that doesn’t happen very often. In my 25 years of teaching, I’ve witnessed 2-3 teachers being put on a performance plan. They either improved or quit. No one was ever fired, it’s too harmful to document being fired on their next application. Every profession has a Just Cause for Dismissal provision in the employment contract. It’s not unique to FCPS.[/quote]

How, pray tell, would you know if anyone was put on a performance plan? It’s not something that the teacher or the principal would advertise.

Uh, we know because they are in our department and we work with them. They start working with an instructional coach and usually the other teachers have to pull extra weight for them because they suck that bad. But the PP is right. They either improve and stay or don’t improve and stay or quit. They don’t actually get fired, no matter how bad they are. [/quote]
