[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonder why she got the percentage wrong?[/quote]

She might have updated information.  The staffed numbers go quite a bit each day at this time of year.[/quote]

Why do they change each day? Which teachers are looking for positions this late in the summer?[/quote]

There are always de-staffs. Not sure if that will happen this summer or not. But every year, teachers are de staffed right before school starts. [/quote]

What is a de-staff? Is it people who got fired or people schools don't need because they miscalculated the number of enrolled students or both?[/quote]

Not needed. I was de staffed because they thought they’d have the #s for 4 classes but did not. So I got transferred to another school. [/quote]

Can you get out of your contract without penalty if you're destaffed? I thought about leaving last year but decided to stick it out at least one more year to see if things improve post-pandemic. If I got transferred to a worse school that's a much longer commute, that might just be the last straw for me.[/quote]

De-staffs are done by seniority accrdong to hire date. When were you hired by FCPS? Note that it’s not about when you started at a particular school, but when you were hired by FCPS. 
There will not be many de-staffs this year. In order for it to happen, a school would have to be fully staffed AND the projections for enrollment were way off. Since she’s many schools have at least one vacancy, there is no one to de-staff. [/quote]
