[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, we can only hear this guy’s version as the school is not able to share about personnel matters. Teachers are really difficult to hire right now, and there’s a lot that mediocre teachers can get away with simply because there are so few qualified candidates to replace them. In other words, he really had to be awful for administrators to go through this process. My educated guess is that the decision to non-renew was not done lightly and without specific evidence. 
[/quote] High School band positions are coveted in FCPS. There are many elementary and middle school teachers who have aspirations to teach at the HS level. I disagree in this case that there are few qualified candidates.  [/quote]

Sure, there may be many that want that position. But after June 1, there are no transfers unless a principal agrees to release the teacher. These days, many will not release because hiring behind is really tough, even for music teachers. Teachers have until June 15 to resign.

I guess I did not look at when he resigned I assumed it was before the transfer deadline. [/quote]
