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

If I get moved to a school that is far out.... I will not stay. This will be a delicate process for HR. If you apply to a school it's for a reason. Many teachers have their own kids in county schools and can't be an hour commute away. I hope someone balanced and intelligent is overseeing this process.[/quote]

Yes it’s really unfair to interview and be hired at desired school and they try to ship you off somewhere else.

I cried the whole weekend last year when it happened on a Friday. In the end it worked out OK. Not a great school environment but wasn’t a bad commute. [/quote]

Been there and it's not ok when it happens. I'm glad you stayed strong and they put you in a location that works for you!![/quote]
