[quote=Anonymous][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.

No the PP but work in a school....trust me everyone finds out like a bad game of telephone. [/quote]

We had one teacher announce/complain that their score was however many points shy of "meets." This is a teacher who has so many red flags that multiple staff have documented. But, they are a warm body in a high-need area. [/quote]
