I work in a Catholic school and our enrollment has gone down every year I've been there. Last year it went down so much we closed our second campus and combined into one school. Today we found out we are down even more and it looks like 7 teachers might be let go! I have no idea how they are going to decide, if it's by seniority I'm gone... gonna be rough, and so sad not to be teaching at the school next year when I get married (I am getting married at the Church affiliated with the school). I should find out for sure by next Friday... Wish me luck!

Anyone's district hiring? Anyone know of anything I can besides teach with an education degree??

Im so sorry your going through the not knowing. I believe the catholic schools would have a better chance of survival if they would let go of restrictions made on registration. When we moved out her from the city we tried to put our kids who were in 4th grade and 6th grade into a few different schools because the freeport district is horrible but they wouldnt take them because they were too old. Well the one in 6th grade was and that would've been 3yrs. tuition right there. When my son was in 5th grade we tried and they made him go through all the testing and interviews to not getting in touch with me by the deadline and after they had me go to the transportation office to get him a bus told me in a letter that they had no room for him. It's a shame it really is. I wish you luck and if I hear of anything I'll be sure to let you know. I am in a RCIA program I could ask the woman running it if she knows of any openings in St. Killians La Salle school.

Thanks for the offer-- but that's where I already work!! We are prety open with registration, we unfortunately are just not getting the enrollment we need!
