RE: Riffing and charter school experience

[hayfields@moscow.com]

First let me apologize to Mr. Curly, it appears my responses have been
going to just him and I really wanted to share them with the group because I 
think that they are important and could have some serious implications.

Mike(I hope I may call him that) seemed to agree that in-district charter 
school experience would count for any teacher currently teaching in the district
toward seniority, once they had been employed in an in-district school(non 
charter school).  Ie teachers at charter schools could not automatically 
transfer to a district school and bump a less seasoned teacher.  However, a 
teacher currently employed in the "district" for the 2001-2002 school year 
WOULD be allowed to count his/her in-district charter school years for 
seniority purposes.
DID the district actively check to see if there were any teachers with prior in 
district charter school experience teaching in district schools this school 
year?
Was that experience considered when making up the seniority schedules for 
riffing?  IF NO why NOT?  And how will this effect those individuals who might 
not have been riffed had their experience been considered?  Will the schedule 
be redone? If yes then I have a question that perhaps maybe someone could 
answer-
Do all the teachers being riffed have more than two years seniority? 
Again, no particular axe to grind, just insatiable curiousity gained at the 
Moscow Public Schools(thank you Connie Hall et.al)
