Reply #15: That's a familiar story.

All sports and other extra-curriculars in my district are now "pay to play."

We lost our elementary PE and music teachers, and we'll be teaching PE and music next year, despite our distinct lack of qualifications to do so.

42 teachers were laid off last week.

There was a wholesale shifting of staff yesterday, with teachers finding out that they've been reassigned to different sites and grade levels all over the district. One of our 5th grade teachers was reassigned to teach kindergarten across town next year. My teaching partner was reassigned to the high school. I don't know about the rest, since the official list won't be posted until next week.
