Public board
needs 10 fewer
teachers
For the first time in many years,
the number of teacher retirements
and leaves of absence will not be
adequate for the Avon Maitland Dis-
trict School Board to avoid teacher
job losses in 2009-10. ,
At a regular meeting Tuesday, May
26, trustees approved a series of in-
tricately -worded motions designed to
allow the board to fulfill its contrac-
tual obligations while -eliminating an
estimated 10 full-time teaching posi-
tions.
Phrases 'in the motions included
"declared redundant",. "placed in
the possibly redundant pool",. and
"placed on the recall list." But, ac-
cording to education director Chuck
Reid, it all boils down to a declining
need for teachers due to over-all de-
clining enrolment.
"Normally, what has happened is
that our retirements or our materni-
ty leaves or our general leaves have
balanced the reduced need for teach-
ers ` due to declining enrolment,"
Reid explained. "But this year, we've
reached a stage where a number of
our teachers aren't ready for retire-
ment ... We've reached that cross-
roads."
Currently, the board employs 485
secondary school teachers and 589
elementary teachers.
Within the past decade, there have
been limited declarations of redun-
dancy at the conclusion of some Avon
Maitland school
years, but ,the
tendency has
been to rehire
those teach-
ers the follow-
ing September
— once funding,
staffing and en-
rolments are
finalized. And
Reid said, "our
hope is that well
be able to call
all (the released
teachers) back
over time."
But this year,
that's very un-
likely to happen
within just a few
months.
"I think we're
going to be look-
ing at this for at
least the next
couple of years,"
the education di-
rector stressed.
"If we're going
to be realistic,
I don't think
(this year). ii..an
