[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teachers at the schools agreed to teach there. Back in 2013-2014 when it was first proposed teachers voted. Many schools voted against it and the schools that have it voted that they wanted the extra pay that came with the extra time. No one forced it down their throats. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re ESY, it seems like a good, data-driven decision.

Tried it, didn't work as hoped and had significant downsides (enrollment/teacher burnout and resistance) so they ended the program. [/quote]

Not sure where you got the impression that it was a data-driven decision. The roll out was terrible- it was set up to fail by inept planning.[/quote]

the truth is the unions bitched about it and it got canned[/quote][/quote]

That is not true.  I work at Raymond, the first esy school.  We did not vote to implement it. We were told it was happening.  In fact, we found out via a Washington Post article that Raymond was extending the year. It was stated in the article that teachers wanted more time with kids at Raymond.  However it was not true.  The principal decided along with Kaya Henderson. We were given an arbitrary deadline to transfer that was before any schools were posting vacancies. If we didn’t sign the new contract we were on our own. Every subsequent year EAY schools were given an earlier deadline to transfer.  It was always before any other schools were hiring. DVPS made it almost impossible to leave[/quote]
