[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school went from having 8 open positions last week to having one this week.

Does that mean that the positions were filled?  That's the most logical assumption, but you can never really tell with FCPS.  [/quote]

Central office got assigned. [/quote]

Smoke and mirrors to obscure the numbers; it’s the FCPS way.[/quote]

It's starting to sound like there is no way for FCPS to please you--it doesn't seem rational.  They report the numbers on positions each day and publicly.  Now down to the wire they are having admin fill the remaining positions until they are able to fill them with permanent hires.  This is what people wanted them to do--and is impressive that they are doing it.  But somehow it's 'smoke and mirrors'??  [/quote]

The job is still vacant. They just got a sub from Central Office.[/quote]

But aren't a lot of those people former classroom teachers?[/quote]

Sure, I suppose some are; but they left the classroom because they didn’t like it/weren’t good at it. So I doubt any of them are going back with any type of excitement or enthusiasm. I suspect you’ll see a lot of computer time and lack luster engagement. (-ES teacher)[/quote]

Yes and they have gotten very used to central office desk job. And even at the end of last year, many people worked from home a few days a week. [/quote]
