[quote=Anonymous]A couple of red flags to look at: 1) What is the transfer rate at the school? 2) On average, how many years have the teachers been teaching? 3) If you can privately talk to a teacher at the school, what do they think "off the record" about the administration and conditions at the school. Our school has a high transfer rate and a high rate of inexperienced teachers. The principal is a bully and prefers to hire newbies to the county because they do not have tenure so she has a high degree of power to determine their future. The experience teachers transferred or retired. The ones that need the paycheck stayed till they could get tenure and transfer. At our school, there is not a high degree of diversity amongst the staff and the principal tends to hire only young, white, women. - An elementary school in the Churchill cluster.[/quote]
