[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had a sub for the entire year so far.  Apparently they didn't plan well enough and we started with 39 kids in a classroom.  The principal seemed to think that was OK but after a lot of pushback split the class in two and has put in a sub in a new class. There is a 100 day limit for subs but it looks like it can be ignored by the principal and he has stated we might have her for the whole year.  He claims to be looking for a full time replacement but the position is not even advertised.

So short answer, yes, there is a 100 day limit but they can ignore it.[/quote]

[quote]How do you know whether the position is advertised or not? Or whether that is the way the principal finds his teachers?[/quote]

You all are micromanaging schooling to an alarming degree. [/quote]

Positions in FCPS are advertised here:  http://www.fcps.edu/hr/employment/jobs/

The principal isn't finding teachers.  That's the point.  If he had an alternative that worked, no one would care.  It's when he fails that it gets attention. Advertising a position is so very basic and he chooses not to do the fundamentals so our kids suffer.

An all year sub is not OK. Heck, 3 months is too much.[/quote] Or it isn't in the budget. Or it hasn't been approved by Central Office....or....[/quote]

Really?

A teacher for each classroom not in the budget?  I don't buy that

Central office not approving? All the principal has to do is say that and 20 sets of parents will help him by calling our district rep.  Seriously, why would we let a bunch of bureaucrats get in the way.

He sent a note home saying he was trying to hire a teacher (poor planning aside).

Do you think he's lying?  I give him the benefit of the doubt and consider him honest, if not completly competent.[/quote]
