[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

My school still has 50% of classes unstaffed in upper elementary. New teachers report to training in 6 days, and to their school in 11 days. Long-term subs? We can’t even get regular subs. Where these teachers will magically come from is a mystery.[/quote]

Your region needs to take a hard look at the administration. There’s a reason people don’t want to work there. [/quote]

Sleepy Hollow ES?
Herndon ES?
Annandale Terrace?[/quote]

PP, how did you generate this list? I accepted a position had one of these schools because it is closer to home. Is it based on the number of jobs posted?[/quote]
