A social studies teacher is needed at East Middle School, a fifth grade teacher at West Central, and a special education teacher at Irving.
That's because it's still a miserable place to work. The new negotiated contract looks good but one principal at least has already run to Ridder to try and figure out how to get around it rather than support his teachers. There is no administrative support. The raise is very small thanks to the overspending on nonsense after the tornado. What is there to build loyalty or make anyone want to stay? Joplin administration and school board should be ashamed. if their biggest goal was to hang on to their teachers, they failed.

ReplyDeleteIf Ridder backs this administrator that will tell us what we need to know about Ridder and any replacement he finds to replace him when he leaves. This is very important to know. So much for those forums. It doesn't seem like there has been anything but a lot of talk at this point. I hope the NEA is successful but they will have to be ready to fight every step of the way.
What school are you talking about?
ReplyDeletePlease, Ridder should not have anything tangible to do with selection of the new Superintendent....he is not qualified.it's the total job/responsibility of the Board.
ReplyDeleteWhy not hire within the district,at least then you should what your getting? No! They will hire another windbag to blow smoke up their backsides saying ALL IS WELL.
ReplyDeleteTo propose an in house selection is the best way to keep R8 inbred...no one at present time in R8 has the depth of experience to be the Superintendent Huff didn't know enough to grow real talent unless butt kissing is a talent 407 wants.The job of Superintendent is a very tough job.R8 needs an experienced educator with fresh eyes.
