I received the phone call that I was excessed on August 30th which was one week before the start of the school year. I found out that the principal changed the codes of my classes to allow someone's husband to take my program. He was supposedly placed under a Social Studies license but the last I heard he was teaching as a day to day sub out of the Business dept. I lost the Step 1 grievance and when I contacted the union representative I was dealing with for the Step 2 grievance he said he hadn't looked at the paper work yet. (almost 3 weeks later)<br /><br />Now they are rotating the ATR's and we have no say in our placement. Everyone says that we are lucky to have jobs. They are sending me from the south shore of Staten Island where I live to a school in Williamsburg/Greenpoint. Am I really lucky? I thought they were not suppose to send ATR's out of their district/superintendency but this has become a murky subject with a creation of a new district???? Accroding to the DOE websites high schools are either classified under a superintendency for example BASIS with its own superintendent etc. or a district. Now, because I feel they are urging the ATR's to quit we are being sent to far off places withing these new districts. I don't know what you can do to help but the union needs to stand behind the ATR's. We are nearly 2000 teachers without a voice or a home! The vagueness about the districts is a fight worth fighting!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br /><br />Susan RauAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-73075951104994995232011-09-29T23:19:12.084-04:002011-09-29T23:19:12.084-04:00Can you beleive they placed me in a school in Will...Can you beleive they placed me in a school in Williamsburg and I live on the southside of Staten Island.
