The position is not filled and remains open. GTMO was not affected by the hurricanes and all forms of communications, be it cell or internet, are working fine.

HelpOthers Always stay ahead of any deadlines, have plenty of sub plans ready and if you do get an offer, plan to do what you can to make it easy for a sub to fill your position for the remainder of the year if needed. Give your current admin as much notice as possible and keep in mind that even if your new school wants you immediately, it could take up to th...See More
