HCM? staff proposes to spend $1 million to hire 125 teachers
by Ann Sutherland on 04/09/16
Instead of sending letter s--or recruiters--to neighboring states which pay starting teachers in the $30,000-$40,000 range, the board faces a proposal from staff which proposes paying $8000 per teacher to let Teach for America to recruit teachers. Our data shows that two-thirds of these teachers will quit after two years, a higher rate than with teachers hired; national data says almost all are gone after three years.
Also questionable is why TFA has raised their rates from $5000 per teacher to $8000 in the last six years despite an inflation rate hovering around 1% per year.
Tell your board members to vote "no". Maybe the HCM staff will start doing their jobs.
