One teacher was recently transferred to another school across the district (we'll call her "Jane") because of the enrollment numbers at both schools. She was told on Tuesday that she had to pack up and leave her classroom and was in her new school and classroom on Wednesday. There was no prior warning, not even a courtesy call to the principal. Jane was transferred on the basis of how recently she had been hired on in the district - "last one in, first one out". Though there were other teachers who had been employed by the district more recently, those other teachers were not chosen to be transferred because they had an extra curricular (coaching) period. Ironically, it's those teachers that have multiple coaching periods that reduce the overall student/teacher ratio for a school, and are part of the reason why this teacher was transferred in the first place. It's not the coach's fault. It's how the very flawed system works.
The point: Fort Bend ISD has NOT followed the procedures that it established before the layoffs and makes decisions without the best interests of the students in mind.
