Summary of Staffing Reassignments:
We are currently, under Phase 1, losing 19 staff members (2 of which willingly moved to explore new opportunities). We were one of the only schools that everyone wanted to stay at and I think that speaks volumes of the family and culture that we have. The number 19 represents 14 homerooms, 2 assistants, 1 related arts position, 1 GT position, and 1 school counseling position. There is only 1 staff member that will be relocating to TCES... that is Melissa Daniel (currently the school counselor at OPES).
If you are interested in specialists/interventionists, lead teachers, RR positions, etc. these will be posted on the FMSD website on Monday (if not before). Please note that these positions are highly desired and if you think you want a shot at getting the position, make sure you're checking daily... positions can close on Applitracks after only 3 days. I would begin now updating your resume, etc. and please use me as a reference.
Friday was a hard hit to our Titan Family. By no means are these moves final and we hope through growth projections we will be able to bring some of our Titans back home. Please love on our family members that received news that they would be calling a new school home next year. Once a Titan, always a Titan!
