Teacher Layoffs?

by Kristine

May 6, 2009

I'm considering moving to NM from Florida. Florida is having massive teacher layoffs, currently. Are there any layoffs/cutbacks planned for NM in the next year that anyone knows about? I'm thinking specifically about San Juan County, the Northwest and the RES. area.

kidbiz I live in San Juan County. Most of the schools around here are not doing any major cutbacks or layoffs. However, they are hiring as aparingly as possible.

So, depending on your credenti...See More

by teacher4hire

May 16, 2009

Here it is a week 'till school's out, and still no evaluation of principal. We are more than eager to fill it out, but our principal hasn't given it to us. Anybody know the law/rules on this? They sure haven't been shy on evaluating the %@&! out of us.

1administrator My. my, are we bitter or what? I don't know the law/rule in your state but I can see you need some anti-bitter pills. Am I to assume you did not get a good evaluation? Imagine that! Well, good luck and have a great summer.

by A. Transent

May 18, 2009

This is my first year teaching. I hold two licensures for different sciences. Now, this said, I was told last Monday by my Exec Principal that I was renewed for his school and would teach a particularly hard-to-staff science. I'm only one of a dozen or so with that particular certification in this urban district.

Then I was informed Frida...See More

anon And if you are "tenured" or "post-probationary," you aren't secure. If a principal or higher up wants to get rid of you, he or she pretty much can. They can simply fabricate charges and put in a phony paper trail. Then, in the "hearing," the administrators merely rig them for their benefit, depending on the state.

Because there are so many...See More

victoria I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you. I've been through this kind of thing in Illinois. I hope it isn't the first time. I can't really advise on NM law but if you haven't already, I find it helpful to be up on regulations, code, etc. Helps with structure. Secondly, try to remember your strengths and keep a positive outlook. Finally, I'm her...See More
