I travel between buildings. If one of them was Central Falls would I only be half fired?

Are there any itinerant teachers who travel and spend only part of the day at Central Falls? What is happening to them?

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. Still no answer? Come on, our resident teacher bashers usually have all the answers.

I posted this in GD as well and also received no answers.

Damn, seems like a pretty simple question. I'll wait for answers while I prepare half a resume. :)

2. Do you report to either school?

Or does your supervision come from the county/district level directly?

If it's essentially two part-time jobs, then presumably you would lose one of them. If you work for the county directly and they simply pick which school you are in next week, then I assume you would be unaffected.

But the answer is likely pretty simple. If one of the two schools was closed tomorrow, what would happen to you?

3. I work for a school district

I am assigned to two schools. I go to one school and then halfway through the day I leave there and go to my second school.

So if they fired all the teachers in one of these schools, would I be half fired?

Now don't you imagine there are teachers at Central Falls who work in more than one building? I would be surprised if there were none. What happens to them?

[FBaggins]

4. So what would happen to you is one of the two was closed?

Why would this be any different?

My guess is that you would be reassigned to a different second school, assigned FT to the first one, or cut to part-time if that's something that is done in your area.

Now don't you imagine there are teachers at Central Falls who work in more than one building?

No... I don't think so. It's the only high school in the district.

5. Many of us are certified K-12

I know quite a few teachers who work in both elementary and secondary schools. Also if Central Falls has a middle school, that is a second secondary building in that district.

Firing all the teachers is not the easy solution being portrayed here.

6. I don't think that anyone has portrayed it as "easy"

It's just what was left.

7. no, it wasn't "what was left". it was what was chosen by the super. with obama's ed dept at her

back.

[FBaggins]

8. You've got that backwards.

The four choices came from Duncan (& co.) and Gallo just implemented what she was given - Of the four, that WAS what was left (after the union rejected the remaining option).

Have you read the stories out of IL lately? None of those teachers were even given a choice.

[Hannah Bell]

9. the union did not reject the remaining option. the super summarily broke off negotiations & issued

an ultimatum.

from your own cited quote:

"The teachers union leaders also denied that they had reached an impasse in talks with Gallo. They said they needed more details of what they would be expected to do."
