[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a job. People switch jobs all the time. If you spend any time on the Jobs and Careers board there are often posts about job hopping.[/quote]

Apparently people in education are not allowed to change jobs, have personal lives, take sick days....we treat teachers and admin like they owe everyone everything. News flash they don't! Their job is just like yours...a job.[/quote]

I don’t see it as “bailing”. The person left one job for another. Maybe it’s closer to home, or better fits the family’s schedule. Perhaps the benefits are better. Regardless of the reason, there’s really nothing to see here.[/quote]

It would be nice if the rules that apply to teachers also applied to administrators. Teachers were locked into their contracts before *June* was over. [/quote]

Before June was over*. [/quote]

I heard it was extended through July. As a PP mentioned, or maybe it was diff FCPS post, the rules bend/don't apply for a select few at Gatehouse.

I don't see it as bailing. 10 years ago, yes, it was bailing. The current job, political, and FCPS climates do not support the work family atmosphere that used to make getting a job at FCPS a good thing. (Benefits are still good.)The great pensions for teachers and staff are gone, along with loyalty and longevity. Leadership keeps adding more layers, spends much time working to justify and protect their jobs and departments, remains largely unaccountable for their decisions and actions.  Not sure Dr. Reid has the energy to deal with rogue leadership, and not sure that is what the SB wants her to do. SB wants someone to pet them, support dog parks, hold their hands and explain a $3.4 BILLION budget to them for the umpteenth time, and answer all their parent calls because they can't/won't.
