YOU ARE SO RIGHT, RYAN. WAY TOO MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE NOT EVEN GIVING FIRST YEAR TEACHERS/ ADMINISTRATORS (OR ONES WHO HAVE BEEN LAID OFF RECENTLY) A CHANCE. IT'S EASIER TO INSTANTLY REHIRE A RETIREE AND NOT WORRY ABOUT INTERVIEWING, ETC.

Dear John:

The pool will continue to shrink if younger educators are not given the opportunity to move up to administrative positions! The same is true of classroom teachers who stay on for 35 -39 years holding positions that formerly went to new recruits after 30 years.
