This is a very confusing issue and very controversial! I see both sides of the issue, which doesn’t seem will be settled soon to either side’s satisfaction. Are the recall rights for teachers, being negotiated by GEA, in conflict with state law? Everyone wants to see good teachers retained, and no one wants to see teachers with more seniority used as pawns in the district’s budget. I also see a need for focusing on professional growth in evaluations. Our children’s academic experience under awesome tutelage is just too important to leave to the old educational paradigm. We need to expect more of our teachers and our students in the educational system. We’ve come a long way from the country schoolhouse, but we need to reach higher. We need to step into a new paradigm of learning, with high self-esteem and confidence at the root of each student’s journey. Some are bemoaning the lost dozen days of school for our students, but I, for one, do not think the students should have returned to school in 90 degrees or higher temps. After Labor Day seems like the better time to begin school, and they can attend two weeks longer in June.

What’s your take on changing recall rights for teachers by combining categories?
