[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't discredit other parent's experience of the turnover to growing pains from the school expanding.  Staff turnover is not a fairytale; teachers have really been leaving.  In addition to the several teachers that have come and go out of my son's class, the Pre-K rotating Sped teacher left as well as the ABA manager.  These were phenomenal educators.  As a concerned parent, I've asked other teachers why so many teachers are leaving.  There isn't a direct answer to that; many teachers do not speak about it, but I've heard that many others are thinking about leaving as well.  In addition, the Asst Principal is currently subbing for a class at 1246 because either a teacher left or is out sick.  The Director of Student Support Services have also been called into classes to help with teaching.  So although parents and their children have been able to experience a substantial learning environment for their children, the turnover rate is real and it has nothing to do with the expansion of the school.[/quote]

Wait, by "ABA manager" do you mean they lost their BCBA??  That would explain a few things we've run into...

But yes, the early/mid-year departures created some real problems that I'm not clear are all ironed out right now (suspect they're not), on the special ed side of things, and have resulted in some not so great staffing switches.  Sounds like departures may have extended beyond sped too, but I could easily see how certain classrooms and kids could simply be insulated from the impacts - if you don't have an IEP and it's not your teacher who left, life goes on as it always has for your kid, probably even more true given the campus division.
