RE: Riffing and charter school experience



Having received a private email that indicates 
the issues does involve a specific individual, I 
have suggested that Ms. Jordan ask the teacher 
to contact the director of personnel for an 
answer and explanation.  I'm not sure that there 
is a general level of interest on the intricacies of 
reductions in force and seniority calculation 
based on charter school service.  And, as the 
discussion veers into specifics involving one 
individual, it would violate our confidentiality 
obligations to discuss the issue publically.

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)
