Yes I just came on here to say that. Librarian is probably one of the lesser important but at least it is some progress. esol is probably the least important.

ESOL is the least important?
Wow.

Our school doesn't have many esol kids. The esol teacher would usually work with kids that spoke perfect English but also spoke a second language at home and these kids needed extra help with reading. In the many years my kids have been at our school we have only encountered 2 kids that didn't speak much English. Also, young kids pick up a new language very easily. Signed, parent and former esol kid.

Very low chance of getting a long-term sub for these positions. More likely a rotating cast of daily subs.

That’s what happened at our school this past SY, but it was only for about 3 months.

This is bad.

There’s still the whole summer to hire someone. Please don’t start panicking now. Summer just started.

I’d imagine the only actual teachers available this summer are a few who might be moving from out of the area due to their spouse’s job. New grads were hired months ago and transfers have already been placed. That leaves nobody to fill the vacancies except subs (and good luck finding them!).

July is the tail end of the hiring season. Principals have been able to hire since March so majority have accepted jobs. It’s really only about a month and a half until school starts. New teachers have great beginnings (orientation) August 5 and teachers are back in school prepping on August 12th.

I guess you’ll just have to keep blaming the new principal then, won’t you? Because that’s clearly all you want to do. (Psst - no one is buying it.) Have a nice, relaxing summer, if you can with all the worry about vacancies.

Unhinged much?

On the contrary, I’m very relaxed. I’m happy with the new principal and look forward to new faces in the fall!

You should volunteer your kid to be in the class that will start the year off with no teacher since you are so relaxed.

Worry about your own kid - otherwise you are just fear mongering.

That makes no sense. How is it fear mongering if there are so many open positions and it is almost July? It is plausible that not all will be filled. Get your head out of the sand.

Why don’t you wait and see what happens come August 19 before freaking out? Do you have any summer plans?

No one is freaking out but it's normal to not be so laissez faire and hope everything works out. Do your summer plans take over your entire summer?

I don’t spend my days worrying about how many vacancies are at a specific school at the end of the year, no. I have confidence our admin will get them filled come August 19 and I will be back here then to say I told you so. Have a good summer and maybe try a Xanax.

Since we go to Navy we worry. We also worry about the home value if navy goes south.

We go to Navy and aren’t worried.

Lucky you.

Given the demographics of the school as the largest plurality is Asian, our community tends to value education. If the score goes down, there will be exodus.

Perhaps previous poster is just here living temporarily renting a townhome or something and is not vested in the community, hence their lack of interest and general disinterested attitude towards education.

At what threshold will you sell, pack up and leave? What score on what test is considered too low for your “community.”Would love to hear specifics.

PS - those who value education know the SOLs are BS.

But buyers see scores on great schools and other places and buy accordingly.

You don't speak for the majority. Our worries will decline when we see progress being made on hiring and vacancies are decreasing.

Where did I say that I did? Oh, and just in the last few days of your frenetic postings,
the Art position was filled! Woo! Crisis averted!

You must be referring to your own posts. There never even was an art position that was open so you are also uninformed. You should go busy yourself with your great summer plans Xanax lady.

I wish you the best. I’m sorry the vacancies have you so worried that you feel the need to lash out. I’ll be back on August 19 to say I told you so. Everything is going to work out.

I heard there were more people hired than leaving, so are those additional classroom teacher positions for the grades that are overcrowded? Because if admin can fill 24 vacant positions AND find extra teachers on top of that to lower the class sizes, they would be a hero in my eyes. Some of those class sizes are absolutely ridiculous.

That’s not how it works. FCPS uses a formula based on the specific total school population to determine how many teachers can be hired at each school. And then the principal can place them accordingly. But often they don’t qualify for an additional teacher and one upper grade level that is larger can suffer as a result. The state cap for grades 4-6 is 35. For Grades 1-3 it’s lower. Priority is given to lower grades with regards to class sizes.
