Backing off on turnaround?

According to news articles (e.g., see WSJ article), the DoE is backing off turnaround plans, yet they are due back in court on July 24 to argue their case again.

Welcome to the Flushing HS blog

The outcome of the recent arbitration keeps the school open, but creates an odd situation for the teachers and APs.  Those that were told they cannot come back now have a right to return, but have a dilemma: they can either retire or find a new job (difficult) or return to a strange situation.  Teachers have already been badmouthed enough in the media, but we'd like the teachers throughout the 24 schools to support each other and share experiences about the kind of harassment or poor treatment they've received and may receive in the upcoming year.

We hope people can talk here freely, because we know they can't necessarily even talk to their union leaders because they don't know which side the union rep is really on.  We're using the blog format because it allows people to post anonymously.

If you're in touch with others from the school over the summer, please let them know about this blog.
