It doesn't matter if all teachers were to be funded by Central; Principals will still choose UNTENURED newbies who don't know the contract over tenured veterans who know the rules. Randi sold us down the river when she agreed to get rid of seniority. Without this, principals can now choose neophytes who have nothing backing them. As an ATR I see untenured teachers working past their hours and no idea what "per session" means. Wake up, unless principals are made to hire ATRS permanently, all we can hope for is that there is such an exodus after the new contract that principals will be forced to take us. And ATRs should refuse to sign any provisional contracts for any open spots due to retirements, tranfers or people quitting.JB25/55noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-14306222916308686432014-04-07T23:26:31.178-04:002014-04-07T23:26:31.178-04:001 or two year retirement incentives would lead to ...1 or two year retirement incentives would lead to a large number of people leaving but I hope there is one in new contract.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-70768664869413945882014-04-07T18:54:42.774-04:002014-04-07T18:54:42.774-04:00Please leave the kids out of your comments when vo...Please leave the kids out of your comments when voicing distaste over DOE injustices .

Here you have many great professionals highly educated having to deal with this idiot bloomberg created bull shit. That fregan wiesel left us with this ridiculous staffing insanity which seems to persist day after day. In its simplest form, you have several thousand educators, teachers. guidance counselors, social workers and secretaries who are staff members working for the department of education in NYC. However, there seems to be this wave of fogginess which lingers and lingers and lingers for no apparent reason. I mean, are you fregan kidding me?? The resources available to the DOE with this pool of educators is amazing and the kids of NYC can benefit immensely by beefing us staffs with smaller classes, kids will get social emotional help with counselors and social workers, classrooms sizes can be smaller for more effective instruction, school office hubs can run smooth with the infusion of secretaries and on and on....yet we seem to be caught up in this "what do do" with excessed educators from so called "failed schools". Come on please can we please end this insanity!!!!!

The headings are ridiculous also, MA (PD) etc. Just stupid misunderstanding visual headings on pay scale. The starting salary should be increased to attract and top pay should come after 5 years like most other civil service. This will eliminate principals wanting to hire particular salary people because top pay will come quicker. 22 years is pathetic. How can it take 22 years to hit top pay while individuals want teachers "out" before 10? So stupid.

I can certainly foresee an abuse of this by principals and APs. They can offer living environment one year and then at the end of the year, tell the ATR that they are not offering living environment next year, but earth science instead, so they "have" to excess the ATR. This is a ruse that's been going on for some time now. Also, there is the very real chance that a provisional hire will be treated differently than a permanent staff member, perhaps having extra duties piled on for them and they feeling pressured to do the extra stuff in order to be taken on permanently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-16923666832606959672014-04-06T11:15:53.057-04:002014-04-06T11:15:53.057-04:00How about getting rid of Circular 6 duties?
