I know.... I was dumb enough to ASK if I can just give the school record and leave at 4:00pm, and was told "NO".... Parent just left. I thought that they would get in trouble for just leaving and get warrant for their arrest or something, but no....It's just re-scheduled!!

This was already the rescheduled hearing since the last time the same parent NEVER showed up! Something is wrong with the system...

Why could the parents leave?  Can they just avoid the 'punishment' if they don't attend the court?  Next time you might just leave when YOUR work day is over.

I literally sat in the juvenile court waiting room from 8:30 this morning until 6:15 this evening waiting for our truancy case to be called....By the time when we finally got called, the parents and the student had left already, so it had to get rescheduled!!! How crazy is that?! I don't want to go back there and sit forever again!!! ( I got to finish reading my agility book, though)

Our school district is getting 4.3 million $ budget cut. I dont know where they are going to cut it from.... They said that they are going to get rid of our school buses and contract it out to save the pay and benefit of district employee related to bus services....

Yes, Lynda, do we retire to beat the change or do we not because the pension will be slashed????  Don't we all wish we had a crystal ball to have seen this coming about 20 years ago - or even 10?  And don't we wish we could go back and do MORE for retirement?

Our new state governor cut steeply in education. Many higher education, state university will lose 1/2 of state funding as well...How crazy is that? I know PA is in defisit, but is this where it need to be cut? Education and public health is most important to ensure pepeople's well being and future....

Well our assembly passed the budget w/o collective bargaining, our school board , gave us the shaft, Our pay raises are suspended, our insurance goes up, our dental, Our seniority has been suspended,  almost everything, But for our school board members, suspending alot of our items is very hard to take.  We thought they were behind us  but . . .  I guess not,   Well we are their for the kids and we will not GIVE UP !!!!!!

Sue,

Put in for a transfer and if an opening comes up at the school where your principal is being assigned to, you would probably have and 'in' at the interview.  It seems to me that there is always teacher movement when principals are re-assigned and some teachers follow the principal to the new school.

In our district when there is a reduction in teaching staff, it is called an involuntary transfer and is open to anyone to accept.  If no one does, then the teacher with the least seniority is the one transferred.  The cool thing about an involuntary transfer is that the teacher can choose to move to any opening they want, interviewing only if another teacher of equal seniority also wants the same position.

Hmm... everything in my districts - both the one I live in and work in... move the LEAST seniority person - those with more years get to stay.  We usually don't move principals just for the sake of moving them -either they move on or up, or are asked to move due to retirement of some, etc.
