[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is outrageous. I sure hope that they also added the virtual academy kids in when doing the numbers.

I feel so bad for any teacher impacted this late in the year. What a mess.[/quote]

No, probably not and the mva staff are getting fired f there are no open positions.  [/quote]

Aren't there like 400 open teacher positions?[/quote]

No.  
[/quote]

Yes, there are. Stop. LYING. [/quote]

Not lying.  Are they all full-time? I bet not! Any of them LT subs? Yes they are!  Any of them in certification areas that someone is unable to teach? absolutely!  So no. There isn’t a position for everyone.  Why are you so incensed? Can you not believe that leadership doesn’t know what they are doing? [/quote]

I see 285 full-time teaching jobs. More will come with resignations and retirements. No one is getting laid off. But yes, some teachers won't like what positions are available.[/quote]

Do you work for MCPS? That’s not how things work.  There are legal and state guidelines on who can teach what. [/quote]

Yes, and there's a lot of positions already open, and many more that will become available over the summer, as happens each year.

As long as you're not an art/music/PE teacher, there's a near-zero chance you'll be laid off. And even for those, the odds are low.[/quote]

Still not the point. Staffing has been set for the year and now they’re asking principals to go over it all over again.  hundreds of people are going to be involuntarily transferred and shuffled.  Instead we should be focused on ensuring that everyone is ready to close out the school year successfully.  MCEA made a good point they should have waited - at least until June 6th after they announced the retirement deadline push.

This is irresponsible leadership at best.  Just “having a job” is not the point.  It’s not the point at all and I’m sorry so many of you are unable to understand. I guess you actually have to be in education to truly understand now demoralizing and stressful this is for teachers.  [/quote]

MCEA would have complained regardless of the timing.

And a previous poster claimed teachers were being fired and that there weren't any open positions, which was obviously a lie.[/quote]

No one knows the actual truth. Many rumors and misinformation are going to be spread. Why? Because as much as leadership touts  “transparency” they have yet to provide evidence of it.  [/quote]

So in the interest of transparency, they should have buried this until the end of the school year? How does that make sense?[/quote]
