But what's changed since the last deficit is a huge bump in foreclosure rates. I’m hoping that will be the case in my district, Delaine.

It always amazes me that the kids show up and someone has to teach them, and suddenly, the district finds the money with which to do so.

Thank goodness I have a science credential and am in the process of getting my math one as well! :-) In my district they are magically going to fill none of the 50 or so vacancies being created as a result of retirement or attrition. However, none of the kids are leaving so, it sounds like there will be some very full rooms next year. Its a little scary, especially being a teacher who is in the midst of moving.

Given your vision, your growing following, and your track record for bridging the achievement gap, they'll fight to fund your position.

It just means that I might not be a literacy coach next year but it might not mean that at all as no decisions have been reached yet. I hope in L.A. that enough teachers will retire/leave the profession to balance out any potential layoffs. Our superintendent has said no permanent teachers would be let go.
