RIFs and Your School
A request was made for a thread on this topic. Let us know what is happening at your school.
One person commented they were interested in how this might affect Garfield and Ingraham.
From a discussion I had with Martin Floe, it does not appear that Ingraham will have any RIFs (or very few). I do not know about Garfield. (I did ask Mr. Floe about TFA and he gave one of his trademark hearty laughs. Then he said that there isn't much movement of teachers out of his school and he didn't anticipate any RIFs. It is one hallmark of a good school when teachers don't want to flee.)

The budget committee took money from other areas of the school budget such as supplies and students services to pay for all but 1.6 of a teacher.

classroom at this time.
According to the district office, "The 484 total breaks out as follows:
376 = work at the central office
100 = leave of absence
3 = displaced
5 = administrative leave"
If we have to cut teachers (not the myriad tiers of administrators who seem incapable of doing the fundamentals of their jobs) , let's start here.

It is amazing what they have to tell you if you just ask.

I'll ask tomorrow. It usually takes a few days to get the any records I request, but I'll let you know.
