School Staffing

In order to get the help I needed, my mom had to pick me up two hours early from school every day and bring me to Anderson Elementary, where the speech therapist was located. Being forced to leave school early didn't help my social issues. The friends I had turned on me, and I became the weird girl. I no longer had people to eat lunch with, and invitations to birthday parties stopped arriving in the mail. I was mocked on a daily basis by people I had previously considered to be friends. Everyone had their own conspiracy theories about me; it hurt. Along with my new-found social struggles, my grades began to drop and I knew I had to make a

My very first job interview for the Chesapeake Virginia School District has always set the tone for expectations of the hiring process for me. Chesapeake Public Schools anticipates the “churn” of employees (Moran, 2014). Chesapeake Public School implemented an early hire process as it planned for the next year’s vacancy. So while the individual vacancies were not posted, they sought interviews on college campuses among the graduating seniors.

Over a year later, I was finally cleared and ready to focus on my academics. When I began to create my schedule for the New Year, I asked my guidance counselor if I could double up in math and science, for a challenge. Her response for this

The idea of returning to school has always been on my mind since I graduated from PIMA. PIMA helped me realize I can pursue a degree instead of always a certificate. Since I was a little girl, I have struggled with some speech problems and mild case of a learning disability. I was placed in special education for a very long time. I got out of that when I was in my junior year of high school because I believed I was capable of doing things on my own. I know I am a good student. I know I am a hard worker. I have always had a pretty good GPA. Some words that I found hurtful in high school were from some of the paraprofessionals that worked with me throughout those years. I was told that I would never go to a regular four year college because of my struggles. I have kept those lies for so many years inside of my heart and soul. I am ready to prove them wrong and better myself by challenging myself to do it. I have achieved so many things since high school. Academic testing hasn’t always been easy for me but somehow I have moved forward and achieved. When I have taken assessment placement tests at PPCC I have felt discouraged with my

I could not agree with you more. I also believe that Mrs. Wallace is not receiving the care that is warranted. People trust health care personnel to do what is right, and to assist in the recovery process. In this day and time, more and more cuts are being made in the health care field. I actually wrote about this same subject in my journal this week. The employees are expected to do more with less, and the care is suffering. I don’t believe that administration wants the care to suffer, but their hands are tied as well. A facility cannot remain open if the bills are not being paid, but at the same time, the staff will not idly stand by and allow patients to suffer harm because of the staffing constraints. It is becoming a no-win situation for all of those involved. I am

Coming to Citrus Hill High school was a big transition for me within itself. I originally transferred from rancho verde to get away from the trouble and focus more on the things that were important to me, like my school work and baseball. I had heard from the people around that there was a good program there play baseball there. When I came I thought my year would be good new start, new school, new surroundings nothing could go wrong.. Shouldn’t have said that. When i got there my anger issues have gotten in the way and has held me back from achieving many of the goals i set for myself before the school year began. For example, starting off good in all my classes keeping my grades up and making the baseball team. I’ve had previous conversations

I organized college trips with my school staff and a career day for the students. I joined the student government and worked closely with the administrative staff. I made a 180-degree turn in my life. The teachers didn’t believe I was the same girl who was missing class, had a couple of fights in school and recovering from depression. The summer of 2015 I attended summer school and night school so I was able to graduate in August 2015. I had classes Monday-Thursday, my first class started at 9:00 AM and my last class ended at 9:00 PM. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday I worked from 9:00AM-11:00 PM in the Dyckman Community Center. I felt like superwoman! It was overwhelming but I knew this was the consequences of my actions freshman year. It was hard but it wasn’t impossible and I was able to motivate other students as well. They saw how dedicated I as to graduating and many students followed my steps. I graduated in August 2015 and received an award for the best intern of the year. I took a semester off because I didn’t want to go straight to college three weeks later after going to school for 12

Past- During my tenure at Darton State College (DSC), I begin my freshman year wanting to become a Physical Therapist. I spent two summers before I went to college going to Shreveport, Louisiana to observe one of my mother’s best friends, Charles. Charles had his own practice in Shreveport and was practicum instructor for Louisiana State University’s Physical Therapist program. My goal while at DSC was get admitted into the Physical Therapy Assistant program offered at the college. After two semesters of prerequisites I was successfully admitted into the Physical Therapy Assistant program at DSC. However, after c my completing one semester in the program, I knew Physical Therapy was not my shown field. I wanted to go into the field mainly

One of the largest issues plaguing police departments in United States is under staffing Under staffing has become ramp it all over the United States. Under staffing creates issues not only for officers with in a department but also within society as a whole. “The rate of sworn officers current habitats was 2.4 per 1000 in the nation in 2011. The rate of total full-time employees, civilian and sworn was 3.4 per 1000.” (Police Employee Data)

Schools are made up from various members of staff who each have different roles and responsibilities these are as follows:

The Union High School district was having extremely high staff turnover. This was more prominent with regards to new teachers. The resources for the district were declining throughout. Teacher absences were at a 20% increase from the past three years. Overall, the school district was receiving an increase in complaints from faculty and support staff dealing with many issues. District leaders knew that they needed to take appropriate steps to solve this issue.

Interview with Ms. McConnell, School Counselors at Columbus High School, Columbus Municipal School District in Columbus MS

During the summer of my 7th grade year I participated in Mercy Higher Achievement Program. In this program, we learned Math and English and practiced taking the high school placement test. Going into the program I was not really excited. I wasn’t so thrilled to basically be going to school for 2 weeks in my summer. Also going into the program, it was my first time doing anything at Mercy so I was pretty shy and nervous. Me not being the strongest test taker my first couple of days were hard. The first time taking the test was really a challenge, and I could not get my locker that I used open. The next couple of days were much better, I got to talk more with my future classmates and we did not do anymore tests, just learning. Learning math and

a) What action, if any, should have been taken by the school administration when the local teachers’ association publicly criticized the administration and the school board?

I had figured my plan should work well enough to buy me at least one day off from school, and at the very least allow me to find out how they operated attendance, which could then buy me a few more days off as the semester progressed but only if I played my cards right. But for now, it was off to Hell I went.
