[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many people are going to be let go or involuntarily transferred in each school? [/quote]

Sounds like one per school, in selected schools.[/quote]

Cuts in all schools. More than one position in some middle schools and average of 3 in high schools[/quote]

Not in all schools. Some have posted on this forum that their school received no cuts.[/quote]

How is this possible when principals were told to absorb the SDTs? That’s a 0.4 reduction in teaching allocations alone right there[/quote]

Affluent schools often have a different set of rules. They do, after all, contribute more taxes.[/quote]Yes.  They have far fewer teachers.[/quote]
Exactly. People don’t seem to realize that the “affluent schools” have been getting short changed on resources for a long, long time now because they were “affluent”. When the school is already at the state mandated maximum class sizes, it is not legal to cut more teacher positions.[/quote]

They typically also have a lower need burden with less diverse needs.

The question might be put, for a given student/family considering schools, how might their educational experience at School A, with a highly affluent population and higher student-teacher ratio, compare to that at School B, with a less affluent population and a lower student-teacher ratio.  Until there is ambivalence, an answer in favor of School A (where, e.g., relatively homogeneous needs might allow for greater enrichment/more advanced class options despite the higher ratio) argues for more personnel at School B, as the school system is the entity legally responsible for meeting equal protection across the county.[/quote]

The data the county recently published showed that Whitman got more $/student than most any DCC school.[/quote]
That doesn’t mean more staff. It like means that Whitman’s teacher have been teachers longer on average than DCC as a whole. Note - teaching for longer doesn’t necessarily mean a better teacher. [/quote]
It means they spend more per student at one of the most affluent schools than they do at poorer schools. So stop with the gaslighting about how wealthy schools get the shaft. They don't.[/quote]
