my sister is trying to quit her current job/school bc she got a job at another school w/in the same district (LAUSD).

HOWEVER, the current principal will not sign her release papers; she claims that she cannot find a replacement teacher. yeah right. in this market? there are hundreds of teachers dying for a job. essentially, she is just being a total b1tch.

does anyone know what my sister's rights may be? is there anyway to veto the principal's power to keep a teacher and force them to stay?

i have yet to see the contract my sister may have signed before employment 2 yrs. ago.

my sister will be speaking to her union but i wanted to see if anyone had any information off hand.

thanks!

 

I don't know if having "done" a teacher really classifies me as an expert.

 

it does! chime in bro.

 

My fiance is a teacher and looking for a job. She'll take the replacement.

 

 

if you're referring to me, you have access to a couple of my sister's pics through my facebook. her name is sharon. but don't post them.

 

Yea, don't post them..PM me.

As long as she is not all buffed like Cremaster.

 

she's way buffed out, too. she could kick your **** w/ one karate chop.

 

Rob, I'll ask my wife. She used to be an elementary school teacher and now teaches in a Master's of Education program at the University level. I'll see if she knows.

 

thanks Marcus, i appreciate it.

 

cant wait till i get home and put on my speedos

 

you pervert! i don't even know what that means.

 

Neither do I. but it does sound SEXY.(considering I will be seeing him tonight)

 

be sure to take photos. all crotch shots.

 

I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this (taught years ago in a different district), but the Union will totally back her in getting what she wants. They are all too happy to go butt heds with the District and the Administrators over anything. The other thing is, your sister should then somewhat be protected (or have a suit if she is later picked on) because there is special verbage about retribution for union activity. I am not sure if this part qualifies.

It is just a shame when it is already a weird situation for her if she stays as she has shown her cards that she wants out. And it is messed up if she is just being blocked form a job.

Man! It is just too bad she doesn't have a lawyer in the family or anything. :P
