The district has posted 3 teaching jobs on it's website(mv.org). All 3 of these positions must be filled as part of the collective bargaining agreement with the teachers union. No postings for the other teachers who are leaving at the end of this school year. Connect the dots and you get larger classes (which equal lower test scores and higher discipline problems), congested classrooms( where children of all abilities will be hampered). I sure hope they have a well thought out plan for this possibility, complete with diagrams, emergency exits and an answer as to why this is good for the kids. We know we will probably get nothing. Or maybe we will get a "We are making the district more efficient", by Mr. Hellman & Crew.
Our suggestion to the board in the upcoming months....make sound logical decisions based on facts and research. Look at what you guys have done so far by voting in lockstep with Mr. Hellman....NOTHING....nothing that has to do with education! Just damage control and the occasional discussion of a dress code policy(more on this in a future post).
Spread the word, invite all your neighbors, and other parents to come see this board in action tomorrow night. Remember all citizens all welcome at School Board Meetings. It doesn't matter if you own a house, rent an apartment or live at home with Mom and Dad. You have a voice, let it be heard!
