[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent here. I checked the vacancy list and there are many openings at Sleepy Hollow, where DD goes. [/quote]

I work for the county and the amount of vacancies is nothing that I have seen before. Also - the school board reported on their premier workforce goal and they admitted that they had made no progress towards their goal of having 5 highly qualified candidates apply for each teaching position. [/quote]
I wonder if they mean they aren’t getting 5 highly qualified applicants or 5 applicants total. I wouldn’t be shocked either way[/quote]

One specific school I am thinking about is having to hire all provisionally licensed sped staff - By highly qualified I guess they mean fully licensed and experienced?  I am not sure of the criteria. [/quote]

Provisional is not always bad. You could have a teacher with 20 years who needs a provisional because they just moved here from out of state. The worry comes when you are hiring warm bodies.[/quote]
Yeah, most of the ones I’ve worked with have been warm bodies or leave after a year or two before they finish the required licensing requirements. [/quote]

Thats sad for you.[/quote]
