[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the whatever is causing people to leave started well before Dr. Reid started six months ago. Think back to Brabrand - he was a MESS.[/quote]

YES! FCPS has been a MESS for a long time. Teachers and principals are done. FCPS is a crappy work environment. And Gatehouse is filled with a bunch of tone deaf do nothings. This will get worse because [i]FCPS is doing nothing to make people want to stay[/i].[/quote]

They have done multiple pay increases, including targeted ones for positions with hiring or retention challenges, such as bus drivers, subs and administrators.

They have made leave changes such as allowing sick leave to be taken before accrual and a leave bank.

[b]They draft changed PD to reduce the required time.

They added planning time for ES teachers.[/b]

That’s off the top of my mind and I credit Reid, not the board, for those changes.[/quote]

There have not been any changes to planning time for ES teachers, only discussion without real results. They did add pretests to some trainings, but they did not reduce the number in any way. The pay increases for teachers, at least, have been the expected step increases and cost of living adjustments. I think you are somewhat overstating her accomplishments.[/quote]

The amount of time spent in those preservice trainings dropped DRAMATICALLY. The poster you responded to said that the required TIME was reduced. To dismiss that and quibble over the number of trainings (many of which FCPS has no control over) makes you look petty. [/quote]
