Re: Tomorrow is the day to find out if I have a job!

Jennie,

I used to teach in Catholic School for the Srs. of St. Joseph. It's worse than public school. At least in public school even the worst schools have some sort of union representation. I was worked to the bone and made less than 1/3 of my present salary now.

For those of you that don't know, there really is no such thing as tenure in CAtholic schools. My old school called it 'permanence'. It did not mean that they had to give you due process or formally adhere to any seniority at all if they wanted to let you go. Yes, in public school you can be excised even if you are tenured if they have lay-offs, however, they must ask you back before they search elsewhere when those positions open up again. Cathlic schools do not have to adhere to the same process. I once taught with a woman who worked at a catholic school for nearly twenty years and then they just let her go one day because of a personal conflict with administration.
As a lay person in Cathlic school you always have to be worried. WE had one teacher who was living in fear that someone would find out she lived with her boyfriend of over a decade. She couldn't put his name on the answering machine.

Good luck Jennie and please let us know.
Sorry they are dragging out the process, it can be torturous.

Re: Tomorrow is the day to find out if I have a job!

Well, even though it is in the diocese handbook that we have to know a month after being deffered (which was on April 15th), my stupid princpal managed to find a way to get it extended even LONGER!! Supposedly it was all worked out but then the pastor decided he had some concerns and called for a meeting... So now we are all in limbo again... Their meeting is on Tuesday so we should know on Wednesday or Thursday. Unfortunately, Wednesday is Field Day and half of us will be out of the building!

Instead of telling us yesterday or this morning that this was all being pushed off again, she avoided telling us. She actually LEFT A NOTE IN OUR MAILBOXES AND LEFT!! She was gone the rest of the day. What a chicken!!!

So, keep the happy thoughts coming until next week and I will let you go. You girls are the best, thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!!

UGGGHH I hate administrators!!! I'm sorry they are putting you guys through this. They are so thoughtless sometimes. Today at my school my 'lovely' principal showed this new guy around introducing him as the new fifth grade teacher, yet NEVER told any of us that we were leaving. Nice huh?

Well, I was lucky enough to get my job back. Five teachers were let go, and two of them were my closest friends there. It's almost bittersweet. I'm glad I don't have to worry but I feel horrible for them

Re: Tomorrow is the day to find out if I have a job! (UPDATED PG 2)

That type of news is bittersweet. Glad you were spared though.

My aunt was a public school administrator for many years and saw similar situations. Sometimes friends with the same years experience but with just slightly more seniority due to extra credits earned etc. would stay while the other would be layed off. It ruined a few friendships.

Yes, times are tough out there. I think you see the writing on the wall. I hope things improve so you can get in a more secure school.
