heard bad news last night (NBR)

i found out last night that in april i will be excessed along with my dh. he has a shot of getting his job back because they are bringing in a class that he offered to teach. we are both special education teachers and with no money coming from the state.. the district cut 30% of their special education staff. sad part is dh and i weren't even at the bottom of the list. im a little nervous and upset but bittersweet that my ride is over at the school i taught at for years. the plan was that if i was just excessed i would stay at home for the year and find a job in september. but now that both of us are excessed we are not sure what we are going to do please cross your fingers for my dh. we are hoping that the class he offered to teach is approved by the board so he can teach it september.

Re: heard bad news last night (NBR)

  • Sorry to hear the bad news... and I do hope that your DH gets the new class he's hoping for
  • So sorry to hear this D, you and your DH are in my thoughts. Have you ever looked into a headhunter service? When I was teaching I was signed up with one and it really helped me see what was out there. I used Carney Sandoe and had good luck with them. Also, try to get your name(s) on sub lists ASAP, just as a safety net.

  • Ugh, I'm so sorry. My fingers are crossed for DH's class to get picked up. I have been hearing about so many teacher layoffs the past few weeks. It's a tough job to have right now I guess. Hopefully you find something else soon too! Let me know if there is anything I can do.

  • I'm sorry. What awful timing.
  • Aw I'm really sorry!  I hope DH gets that new position.  Are either of you certified in NJ?  I can let you know if I hear of any openings (DH, my brother, BIL and SIL are all teachers in NJ).

  • I'm so sorry. I hope DH gets that position too. Good luck with everything.

  • So sorry to hear this. I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes when it seems negative things are comming into play all at once, God finds a way to bring light on the situation. Have you called the Rockland Teachers' Center?  I work there but for a separate program. They have been very helpful to teachers in our area. GL and T&P.

  • This is my worst fear. DH and I are both teachers in NYC where the mayor keeps threatening to cut jobs. My heart literally hurts for you 2 right now. I can't imagine how we would handle this, especially if I were PG. My fingers are crossed for you guys!

    If you don't mind my asking, what district are you in? (You can PM me if you don't wish to share here.)

  • D, I am so sorry about this news!!  You know that DH and I went through something similar because I was laid off while we were TTC and DH lost his job when I was only 7 weeks or so pregnant.  Things worked out for us so I'm confident that you two will find your way!!

  • Sucks. Your school isn't September to August?  How do you get paid for the summers then?  

    G wanted to stay home in the fall with baby according to your blog, so maybe its a blessing.  You'll still get unemployment which is more the disability for maternity:)
