[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20% of our staff is leaving.  Approx half are leaving for typical reasons: long child rearing leave, moving, going to a different school, etc.  The other 10% are leaving the field entirely.  We should be able to replace all the gen Ed elementary people, probably, but I suspect our [b]math, science[/b], sped and bilingual classes will remain open and staffed with a revolving door of subs.

What positions do you have for math and science that aren’t gen ed?[/quote]

We have a 2nd, a 3rd, two fourth, a middle school lang. arts and a middle school social studies position on top of several open positions in math, sci, bilingual and sped.[/quote]

Sorry about my confusion. Does your school departmentalize as early as 2nd grade? How do the MS positions come into play? [/quote]

Not sure why this is hard to understand.  The 2nd-4th grade positions are elementary Gen Ed.  The middle school positions are middle school, including math, science.  Then we have a few bilingual openings in elementary and a few sped openings across K-8.  [/quote]

It was confusing because you wrote, "20% of our staff is leaving", so it sounded like you were talking about one school. You mentioned elementary gen ed along with math and science classes. Typically elementary schools don't separate math and science classes from gen ed classes. Then in the response you mentioned ES grades plus MS classes.

I doubt if I'm the only one who was (is) confused a bit. I'm still not sure if the "20% of our staff is leaving" is from one or two schools.[/quote]
