I completely see it from the ATR side, but I am a recent graduate with my Master's in School Counseling and it is impossible to find a job with this hiring freeze in the DOE. I even had two separate schools tell me they wanted to hire me but their hands are tied with the freeze. There has to be some sort of a way to hire ATR's while also allowing new hires!! There are so many of us that are graduating with a passion for school counseling and are beyond disappointing that we don't even have a fighting chance. I just wish there was a solution the benefitted both parties.

No extra pay, no extra health care coverage.<br />i.e. I'm an ATR with 23 years in! I'm only 49. If the DOE/TRS offered simply to credit me two Total Service Credit years, I'd resign with my 25/55 in tact and leave the system for 6 years and simply restart my RETIREMENT process at my 55th birthday. The calculation for the service credit would simply be based on the last 3 years of salary EARNED. (Not boosting it up had I stayed in those last 2 years.) At least this way the ATR pool could be reduced. The system would not need to pay the salaries, and the actual loss in DOE revenue would not raise at all. I'd get to leave under my 25/55 and the DOE has a few less ATR's to deal with???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-30275065436287838002018-02-14T09:20:29.400-05:002018-02-14T09:20:29.400-05:00To 6:59

There will be more pressure to drive out/fire veteran teachers & ATRs before they can get what is rightfully theirs! More vindictive Administrators, Failed Supervisors, and the Vichy UFT will collude to make things worse for the remaining veteran staffers. Wouldn't surprise me for the city to try to mess with the retro payments for 2019 & 2010 in the new contract. There might be one more incentive to retire this June, but only because the earlier a teacher retires, the less it will cost the city in pension money.ATR 25/55noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-23277350924055143792018-02-05T13:48:23.731-05:002018-02-05T13:48:23.731-05:00Anon 1:19 PM:
