[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does FCPS still have teacher/staffing shortage?
I just heard our school de-staffed.

Please someone tell me.[/quote]

They always de-staffed teachers.   They will be first in line to transfer to a different school.   Sometimes that happens because not enough kids sign up  to take ART 1 class because it lowers someone GPA, or in elementary school there was a dropped in enrollment  for the following school year.  [b]I know someone who de-staffed because they were a Multiple Disabilities Teacher for kindergarten, now they working for 6th graders and never been de-staffed[/b].

Any school that's de-staffing special education teachers needs a hard look unless an entire program is being moved to a different school.[/quote]

Principals just can’t keep extra staff around because they want to. If there’s not enough kids, then they move teachers around. [/quote]

If the number of students who need special education services is significantly down then it's reasonable to de-staff those teachers. If the number of students who need special education services is increased or unchanged then those teachers shouldn't be de-staffed, especially if the remaining special education teachers are going to have huge caseloads.[/quote]

There is NO school out there laying off sped teachers.  They might have to move them from one building to another, but lay them off?  No.  Every year, all schools lose sped teachers due to quitting, retiring or leaving the profession or they move back into gen Ed.  There are always sped openings within a district.  ALWAYS.  Every school, every district, every state.  [/quote]

No one said anything about laying people off. We're talking about de-staffing. I'm a Special Education teacher and I know Special Education teachers who were de-staffed. Most already got hired by surrounding counties. The rest of us will have huge caseloads next year. At least central office got a raise too![/quote]
