[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way it’s 97% staffed.  Way too many vacancies listed.  (Plus we know that not all are listed.)[/quote]

Math is our friend:

13,149 classroom teachers (https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/districtsearch/district_detail.asp?Search=2&ID2=5101260)

This doesn’t include positions such as counselors, librarians and IAs. So let’s add to that number and make it 13,200 total instructional positions.

At the principals’ briefing yesterday, there were currently 588 vacancies.

13200 - 588 = 12612 filled positions.

12612 / 13200 = 96% filled

So she was off by 1 percent.

Yeah, 97% filled sounds much better than 588 vacancies.[/quote]

112 of those are K-6 classroom teachers. Not IA, SPED or Specials teachers - just classroom teachers.[/quote]

There are 140 elementary schools. That’s less than one teacher per school. [/quote]
Whatever you have to say to make yourself feel better. Its nice and theoretical until your kid gets the long term sub. DP[/quote]
