At the time of hire, Chesapeake Public School was not on my list of desired employers. However, it is difficult to coin Chesapeake Public Schools in this question prompt. Chesapeake Public Schools pays beyond average pay even for school districts within the state of Virginia. Likewise, Chesapeake Public Schools salary has been higher that the wages offered in North Carolina. While I wanted to stay in my hometown, Greensboro, NC, and pursue a career with Greensboro Public Schools, Chesapeake’s pay scale was a deciding factor for me to accept a position in the district. I wanted to stay home close to my family. So to bring this question to life, I will discuss the impact that average pay to below average pay offered in Greensboro City Schools had and continues to have on its staffing strategy. A deciding factor in my decision to sign a contract with Chesapeake Public School’s was their compensation package. Chesapeake offered $5,000 more annually for employment and their health insurance offerings exceeded that of the local school district. Competitively, Greensboro City Schools struggles, relatively speaking, to draw highly qualified candidates during a time when there was a shortage of qualified teaching candidates being produced in universities.

Have you ever took a drug test and felt like you had to give up your privacy as a citizen? James Acton did in the court case " Acton v. Vernonia School District". After reviewing the case I 've come to the decision to agree with the school district and believe that the government interest in keeping the students safe from drug use weighs more than this seventh graders privacy. “It has been 35 years since Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural speech as President — the one in which he said, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”” (http://centeroncongress.org/) When presidant Reagan said this, not only do I agree with this but i also believe this is why there is limited government.

Gisselle Zepeda Mr. Lievre American Government Credit 5 Board of Education of Westside Community Schools Versus Mergens The Equal Access Act upheld by the Supreme Court in Board of Education v. Mergens, 1990, requires public secondary schools to allow access to religiously based student groups on the same basis as other student clubs.

Introduction Freeman-Brown Preparatory School, formerly known as Freeman-Brown Private School, is a for-profit school with multiple campuses that experienced mismanagement and financial difficulties leading to multiple campus closures. The poor management as a result of not practicing an open system or a complex adaptive system contributed to socially irresponsible handling of campus closure, thus leaving stakeholders in the dark and scrambling with minimal options after the last-minute closure. Future success of the school is dependent on proper planning, organizing, leading, and controlling by the school facilitators. Freeman-Brown Preparatory School failed its stakeholders; the students, parents, and staff of the Staunton Campus but it

My fellow piers, I would like to talk to you as I would like to explain why I feel the Mobile County Public School System should not have to wear school uniforms?

In the 2017-2018 school year, WBE is in Differentiated Accountability (DA) status for the second year in a row, which means that students must show an increase in student achievement on state assessments or the school may face punitive consequences (Cosner & Jones, 2016; Finnigan, 2010; Mette & Scribner, 2014; Orr, Berg, Shore, & Meier, 2008). In this high-pressure climate, there has also been much teacher turn-over; of thirty-seven classroom teachers, eleven are new to WBE in 2017-2018 with varying levels of teaching experience. The same was true in the 2016-2017 school year. With teachers being “the single most influential component of an effective school” (Marzano, 2007), the need to recruit and retain effective teachers is recognized by WBE leadership as evidenced in the School Improvement Plan (SIP) (Florida Department of Education: CIMS,

Since the pay is so low teachers are leaving their jobs to find something better. Schools need teachers so bad they are willing to take anyone who has the degree. They might not be a good teacher but they need someone to fill the position. These good quality teachers do everything for their students and put so much work into them but they do not get enough in return, even though according to, “We are Teachers” website it says “Most students, 75 percent, say teachers are mentors and role models” This just goes to show that we need teachers who are good role models and just good a good person in

One post was written by Melissa Bowers on what made those around her including herself, leave the profession. She stated in her post that she “watched people leave the profession in droves. Some abandoned ship before they even boarded. Some hung in there for a handful of years before eventually succumbing to cynicism and fatigue” (Bowers

2.2 Teacher resilience A good number of studies has shown that facing various challenges for teachers in different years of their teaching is inevitable. This issue become important when teaches lack the ability of managing these difficulties which may result in burnout and attrition. To be on the positive side, equipping teachers with qualities that prevent them from frustration and make them to thrive than just survive was an ongoing concern for teacher educators and policy makers.
