Illegal interview questions

by Tommy Butfu

May 15, 2012

I was interviewed by a Catholic school today. Is it illegal for them to ask if I am married? Do I have children? What religion do I practice? What religion does my wife practice? Would she be willing to become a Catholic? I said I was Catholic, but didn't attend a church, which I am. They basically told me I would need to join their church if I am ...See More

Kathy Not illegal at all. Also, when you are hired, check the contract for things like a morality clause, church attendance requirements, etc. Kathy

sped LBS 1 is actually an endorsement. An LBS 1 can be on a Type 04, Type 03, Type 09, or Type 10, which would qualify you to teach special ed within the age/grade range of the certificate. Illinois does not, to my knowledge, have another special education endorsement/approval other than the LBS 1. Well, they actually have the LBS 2, which declares one ...See More

I am a probationary teacher and was told I will not be renewed next year because of an unsatisfactory evaluation and cannot work in CPS again unless I resign within 10 days of receiving notice. However, the principal stated that he wants me to come back and has changed his mind since he first did the unsatisfactory evaluation (which was at the begi...See More

Michael Have you had a chat with your delegate? Not that it's grievable, but she or he might have some insight on CPS as a whole and what you should do.

Principals have a lot of leeway when it comes to hiring in CPS. If he goes to bat for you, you'll be rehired.

So your principal clicked you off in March and now a couple months later wa...See More
