[quote=Anonymous]During teacher transfers at the elementary level, those with 3-5 year experience usually transfer right away, whereas it's quite difficut for seasoned "expensive" teachers to do it unless it's something like media or staff development. When a school gets a new principal, things change. The new person may not be able to change things around the first year but soon into the year starts making things diffcult for specific teachers thus inderectly  forcing them to get away from a hostile envoronment, so tranfer or retire early. Now if the big shot staffer is behind all this, the principal of the receiving school will not be able to finalize the trasnfer because he/she will be told to wait until all involuntary people have been placed -- something that may continue much beyond the 2 week timeframe, or the staffer may assign someone and the principal has to accept. The contract language is written in such a way tha the staffers can manipulate it any way they want to. 
Schools with a strong  PTA (beyond breakfasts and lunches) definitely make a difference. So parents, if you like your  teachers and think or hear they are being targeted, do not dismiss them as rumors. Write  emails to the principal thanking him or her for retaining such great teachers.
