[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not trying to troll (seriously), but why is teacher turnover something to worry about? As long as it's not within the year, does it really affect students?[/quote]

Is high turnover ever good in any job?

The previous year saw so many teacher not wait till summer to quit. Never in my 30 years have I seen so many leave during the course of a school year. Teachers have somehow managed to get to the end. Not nowadays.

The other issue with turnover is the replacement. Will it be a first-year teacher or will it be a sub because there was nobody in the hiring pool? If you get an experienced teacher, it is another school's loss that has brought your gain.[/quote]

Apparently an email went out to central office staff looking for 50 volunteers to sub in schools until September 30. No idea which central office staff got the email or for what positions they would be used for. [/quote]

They were supposed to do this last year and no one ever showed up to my school. Instead, many teachers (some said no) lost planning periods 3 and sometimes 4 times a week because we had to cover classes. I’m saying no this year. I’m done working 12 hour days because I no one from Central Office can be bothered to pitch in. Other counties in the area used central office employees for coverage last year. I guess the chancellor is too afraid of his staff rebelling if they have to actually do some work.[/quote]

They actually have a choice? It's pretty standard that they backfill in places I've lived. Maybe this is before being voluntold 🤷🏽‍♂️[/quote]

Central office is widely understaffed themselves. I truly don't think they have anyone to sub.[/quote]

They obviously have at least 50 whose job doesn’t need doing from now until September 30. [/quote]
