[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what, a school employee is only allowed to switch jobs from June 15-July 1, and the other 50 weeks of the year they just have to suck it up if a better opportunity comes along?

I’m sorry, that’s crap.[/quote]

We’ll, at least let’s be equitable about it. If a teacher were to resign after the deadline (June 1-30, depending on the county), we’d have to resign with prejudice and other counties wouldn’t hire us.[/quote]

[b]Agreed, teachers should be able to leave up until their contract starts with no penalty[/b].[/quote]

You have no idea what you’re talking about. That would result in utter chaos. Ask any principal how they could function and be prepared for school to open if there is a high probability of teachers leaving just over a week before student show up. There’s no way any school could be ready to go if there is an option for teachers to leave without any prejudice up until August 11. Look at the situation that is currently happening—several hundred classrooms are not staffed right now, and principals are scrambling. If you were to add to that by allowing teachers to transfer to another district or quit without any penalty, there would be no stability. Principals would be leaving in droves.

I’m wondering if PP is one of these frequent trolls here that is set on dismantling public education by pushing for more and more chaos.

Beech Tree will be fine. Assistant principals have been back at work for a month now. Schedules are done and plans are made. A principal who’s been there for 9 years has left solid structures and routines in place. [/quote]

No, I am a teacher who loves and values public education but realizes that in many (most?) states teachers have the freedom to move around (even mid year!) without being blacklisted. I have siblings who are teachers in 2 other states and a mother who taught in a third, and all are horrified by how little control or rights I have if things change  after June 15th.[/quote]

VA is a right to work state, you can leave.[/quote]
