[quote=Anonymous]Answers to a couple questions in the last 10 pages or so:

1. If a MS/HS teacher has more than 150 students, they are considered on an AT contract. That contract pays 17% more than their current salary (the teacher's load is considered to be 6 classes, rather than 5).

2. Some of the ideas on the table to cover classes is for central office staff to teach, for specialists to teach (instructional coaches, resource teachers, program managers): if you have a license to teach a certain content area, and said content area has a vacancy, then you may be teaching a class or two (e.g. if your instructional coach is certified to teach English, and you have an English opening, s/he may end up teaching a/some section(s) of English), and perhaps even for admins to teach. If you have a license and you need a teacher for that subject, you are next-man-up.

3. Special education openings may end up being staffed by a teacher who has taken the first course in the SPED license program. They have to continue to pursue a SPED license (i.e. take the rest of the classes), but they can teach in that position if they have taken the first class.

4. More than 1/2 of the positions still to be filled are ES and/or SPED.
