Looking ahead to next school year, I've been trying to find a position closer to home so I can actually spend time with my family. I don't want to keep driving 3 hours a day, even though I do love my school and am starting to love teaching elementary. I'm actually in a nice position, because my principal is leaving so I can openly search for positions without compromising my current position.
Except allocations came out, and we are going down by 1.5 teachers (IF the board decides to add the two intervention positions back to our allocations; otherwise we are down 3.5 teachers)!
Crap!
I'm one of four non-tenured teachers, and I'm one of two that are tied for least tenured. The other has more overall experience and lives in town.
There went my back up plan.
So... I guess it's going to be a scramble to find something for the fall. Luckily, my principal was super nice in letting me know now, as the jobs are just starting to be posted for next year, and to offer me help in finding a position.
Bring on the heartburn.
