Principals,
...Principals received this yesterday,<br /><br />Principals,<br /><br />I’m pleased to announce additional budget flexibility for schools this upcoming school year, as well as the allocation of the first tranche of budget appeals.<br /><br />- $100 million of stimulus funding currently allocated under SAM 31 for Academic Recovery may now be used to fund teacher positions in addition to the purposes currently described under the SAM. Schools should expect to be able to use funding for these purposes by tomorrow. This will allow schools to provide additional instructional services or to continue critical programming to help students in their academic recovery from the pandemic.<br /><br />- Additional appeals funding will be available this year for schools which are unable to provide mandated services based on a thorough review of the appeals already submitted. The first tranche of this appeals funding will go out by tomorrow, and we expect additional appeals to be granted as soon as possible.<br /><br />We're pleased these measures will provide additional budget stability for this year. But please note that schools should not expect that these resources will be available to support staffing in FY 2024, and should tailor staffing and programming appropriately to prepare for this funding to phase out. The Division of School Leadership Field Teams are available to assist you in planning for long-term changes in your school’s budget.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-69843772465922540782022-08-03T07:38:50.855-04:002022-08-03T07:38:50.855-04:00Always keep an eye on the money trail and the opps...Always keep an eye on the money trail and the opps<br />https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2022/08/charter-school-super-pac-targets-state-sens-robert-jackson-gustavo-rivera/375263/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-22260006417126286462022-08-02T23:21:42.608-04:002022-08-02T23:21:42.608-04:00If they really wanted to kill public education, al...If they really wanted to kill public education, all they have to do offer remote learning to HS student and then watch enrollment REALLY drop!

I was an ATR for 3 years. All my prior years I had satisfactory or effective yet no school would take me because I took too much out of their budgets. I remember one year the DOE bragged how they hired 5,000 new teacher yet left almost 1,000 teachers floundering in the ATR pool. Ask any CEO or anyone with half a brain, if it is good economic sense to hire outside employees while you have satisfactory employees still on your payroll doing next to nothing. Thank God I was placed last year by the previous chancellor.
