[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes there were huge destaffs in ESOL and several people got put back in the classroom.

There are also a lot of AP destaffs. [/quote]

AP assistant principals?

Or AP as in Advanced Placement teachers.

If FCPS is having to destaff tons of teachers and principals, and our teachers aren't getting real raises, how is our 4 billion budget increasing?  ESOL is one of our most expensive per student categories, if that student population is decreasing to the point that FCPS is destaffing ESOL teachers county wide, then there should be dramatic visible savings in the FCPS budget.[/quote]

Really?[/quote]

Assistant principals are transferred all the time, none have been destaffed.[/quote]

That is correct: none have been destaffed. But they have been moved. Right now some schools are overstaffed with APs. If a principal leaves and that job is filled by a current AP OR if an AP leaves, it will be filled by one of the overstaffed APs. It doesn’t matter where the AP lives and where the school is located.

This is being done now to avoid destaffs in the spring. Asst superintendents have been moving APs proactively now and trying to keep APs in their own region. If they don’t, and one is overstaffed at a school in their region, that AP will likely be moved into another school as soon as there is an opening. And it might not be in the same region. [/quote]

Technically it is a destaff. If an elementary is deemed to not need an AP anymore,  they get moved to another school. That is a destaff. A few years ago they added APs to schools  because of so many post Covid issues and behaviors and the admin was stretched thin. I guess they decided that wasn’t necessary anymore and now these positions are getting destaffed and moved to openings elsewhere.

People who are seeking their first admin job are going to be waiting awhile because of this and there are also central
Office people applying to open positions and being placed in AP roles. [/quote]

Nope. Not a destaff. It’s an administrative placement. [/quote]
