I was hired in July to teach 8th grade English. After preparing my classroom, etc. I happened to be chatting w/ the VP on the Thursday before Labor Day. On her wall, I noticed the schedule had me listed as teaching 9th grade world history and geography. Sure enough, she confirmed I had been switched to this new subject(but not informed of the change). I worked over Labor Day weekend to prepare for my new subject, and was able to hit the ground running on Tuesday with the help of some very helpful teachers in the social studies department. <BR/><BR/>Of course, one month into the school year, the District realized their hiring numbers didn't match the actual student enrollment numbers, due to a mismatch b/w the estimated student enrollment and true enrollment figures calculated in September. As such, the three teachers with least seniority (myself included) were promptly removed from their jobs, and distributed to other schools throughout the county. <BR/><BR/>Due to the removal of the three teachers, all the 1,700 students' schedules were scrapped and they started all their classes over again in October.Attorney DCnoreply@blogger.com
