I've been a teacher for 16 years, and am finishing my 10th year in my school district.
Due to cutbacks, my F/T position is going to be only a 60% position in the 2011-12 school year. Instead of simply cutting back my position, I, and another F/T colleague who was also cutback, received a letter stating our F/T positions are being abolished, and if we request our jobs back in writing by tomorrow afternoon, we will be automatically re-hired for the P/T positions.
Our positions always went from September 1st to July 31st, and our health insurance wasn't interrupted. Our positions are being abolished 6/30, and we will be re-hired on September 1st. From 6/30 until 9/1, I will have to pay Cobra for my family of 5.
It could be this is too personal for me to be objective, and I know there are a lot of people out of work, but abolish our positions and re-hire us for the same positions at P/T? I am also concerned about my tenure and seniority for common duties which I should be entitled to over someone who came in after me.
