Thanks, that is something I was worried about, too...
I heard the kids were moving from the 2nd grader who is leaving Friday. He said his 2 cousins were coming after Christmas.
I asked the 4th grader today if she and her brother were moving to Colorado. She said yes, but she didn't think they were moving until the end of the school year. Which still puts me in a position where I will need to find a different job for next year...
I wonder if I need to share any of this with Dan? The fact of the matter is that Iowa has had a 20% budget cut across the board for all 'state' institutions, including public schools. Our district is one of many that has put a hiring freeze in place. The supt. told us last month that there WILL be staff reductions next year. That being the case, I may have to relocate if I want to continue teaching vs. finding a different type of employment...
