[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here’s my question:

What is the plan? There are 588 missing teachers.  That’s roughly 18,000 kids (30 per class) without a teacher.

What are the levers? 
- Do they just make the classes bigger?
- move teachers around to share the pain between schools?  Seems unfair to have some schools fully staffed while others are at 50%
- Put kids into the cafeteria all day?

Seriously, what is the PLAN?[/quote]

Yes to the first. Combine classes so that there may be grades combined. Also resource teachers will be placed in classrooms to start the year. And central office staff. It will be done on a school by school basis.

Yep- I’ve heard central office resource teachers will be assigned to schools (which, good- it’s about time) and possibly folks who were classroom teachers last year but took other jobs this year May be put back in the classroom (ICs are the position I specifically keep hearing, which, again, good!)[/quote]

What are IC positions??[/quote]
