[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are union positions. If someone is, let’s say a Staff Development Teacher (in the first tranche of cuts) with 20 years in MCPS wouldn’t they just have to take an open position elsewhere in the county? If the school has an opening, they could take that position. If it does not and they want to stay in the school, then the last hired teacher would be cut, not the teacher with 20 years. 
As an MCEA member, this is how I understand the current situation.
**But I still think there is going to be a last minute push for the unions to vote to forego our raises to save these jobs.

I wonder how much they could save if they stopped offering full insurance benefits to staff who are only working a 0.5 allocation. Make it available only to people working 0.7 or more, or give people working 0.5-0.7 Kaiser as their only option, or something. Health care costs are huge, MCPS pays a very large percentage, and I don't know of another employer that gives workers high quality insurance at low cost like this for only working 2.5 days a week. I'm sure this is MCEA blasphemy, but whatever.[/quote]
