[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know why they changed the contract times for high school teachers? Depending on the school they were 7:30-3, 7:40-3:10, or 7:45-3:15. They are now 8-3:30. Teachers only have ten minutes to get ready for students in the morning. This is also going to put a lot of teachers coming into the school parking lot while students, busses, and parents are dropping their kids off. [/quote]

It is the FCPS equivalent of when politicians vote in an unrealistic minimum wage increase, so the McDonald's cuts all hours by just enough so they are still paying everyone the exact same as they did before  the raise.

This is the answer right here. Since administration has now been told they cannot have more than two after school meetings a month, they adjusted the hours so that staff has to stay 30 minutes after the kids leave and admin can sneak as many meetings as they want into that time without breaking the guidelines.

Teachers can still get there early like they always did in order to set up their room, beat traffic, and prepare for the day. [u]HOWEVER, since the contract time now starts at 8 for schools where classes start at 810, what they need to do is leave their door closed and locked until that time. [/u]Admin is banking on teachers being nice and giving freely of their time like the always do. But now that they've been barred from doing that after school, they shifted that time suck to the front end of the day.[/quote]

[b]Ironically,  FCPS is requiring the classroom doors to be closed and locked at 8:10 AM this year, with no students allowed in the classroom without an escort.[/b]

This means that the students have no more than a 10 minute window to enter their first class period once they make it through the metal detectors.

I think FCPS wants to get their staff to quit en masse this year.[/quote]

Is this true?[/quote]

Not at my FCPS high school.[/quote]
