Well, my friend who has been a dedicated, outstanding teacher for many years in Fayette County system, now retired and working 49% (on paper, but 100% in reality) got a letter today saying that there would be no contract or hope for a job in the Fayette County system next year. The timing is perfect... The letter arrived on the Saturday after schools closed for Spring Break.
Now why can't Fayette do like Clayton? They had a reduction in force of 19 COUNTY OFFICE ADMINISTRATORS!! They did not cut teachers or anyone who has direct contact with students.
