Mighty Change

The school system in California is suffering. This is a fairly well known fact. As a teacher, we are seeing the pinches drastically. Last week our sister high school was deemed as a "non-improving" school. All teachers on that campus will loose their jobs and the principal has been fired. Some will return but only about half. Yesterday the district distributed RIF notices due to budget cuts. 175 teachers will be let go at the end of this school year; many from our campus. Today our principal stepped down leaving the school without leadership.

I am often curious what my circumstances at this school would have been next year if we had not already planned on moving. Mighty change is on the move in our world. It is time to brace ourselves.
