Besides, what choice do we really have?
The tests will be less major, because teachers can no longer give a test that takes 90 minutes to complete.

How about cutting the Super of the ISD salary in half, that way it could be used to keep 4 teachers employed

Or maybe the Board of Directors could sell their expensive furniture and digs and laptops........maybe they could meet in one of the NEISD schools' gyms or cafeteria

Below is an excerpt I took out of wiki on tenure. While "tenure" and "continuing" may have different words, it seems to have same application.

"AAUP recommended that the academic tenure probationary period be seven years; still the current norm. It also suggested that a tenured professor could not be dismissed without adequate cause, except "under extraordinary circumstances, because of financial emergencies.""

Can someone explain why NEISD hires San Antonio Police officers to work the football games and other sports games when NEISD has their own police?

I'd figure it has to be one of the following two reasons:

Maybe it's cheaper to pay SAPD officers than bring in district officers and pay them overtime.

Since none of the NEISD football stadiums are on campuses, maybe there's a need to keep the district officers on duty patrolling the campuses for vandalism during games? Otherwise, during football games when all of the district's officers are assigned to the stadiums would be a prime time for vandals to strike on the campuses.

No, we reduce him to minimum wage because teachers are more important than he is or ever was.

Default NEISD Teacher layoff

Reduce Super salary to $70K each and sell the land that the school just purchase for the new football stadium to keep the teachers employed. Education is about teacher/students not some overrated fat cat at the school board making bad decisions.

IIRC, imaterry has previously professed his dislike for the superintendent of NEISD.
