Ways to Create Strife in School Districts

As a newly elected President, I've been privy to a few things in recent weeks that have really opened my eyes to the workings of my district. I'll preface all of this by saying that I'm sure that this is not how things are done in all districts, but I do believe that they happen in more than anyone should feel comfortable with. I will also say that in order to bring about a quality education by committed education professionals, please treat them as such.

1. Even though ed. code clearly states that laid-off teachers have 39 months to be rehired, my district is already pulling shenanigans. We have a dependent charter school. None of the teachers in this charter school received RIF notices, which as expected, created a rift because had teachers known that their jobs would have been protected had they worked at the charter, many (more than likely) would have worked there. That's not the end of it though. I discovered that my district is advertising two teaching positions at the charter school, in clear violation of ed. code. We still have 120 teachers who received final lay-off notices, yet, the district does not feel like they should have to offer any of these laid-off teachers these two positions.
   
   edited to add:The two positions were pulled and the District has agreed to contact the next two people on the rehire list. If those two decline, they will continue down the list. I need to monitor this to make sure it happens!
   
   
2. Fire a long-term teacher from his summer teaching position after receiving a complaint from a parent about the teaching being racist. This is a teacher who has been in the District for a decade and up until this incident, has never had any problems. Put this accusation in writing and tell the teacher that it's going in their personnel file and do not ask for the teacher's side of the story.
   
   edited to add: The teacher is being reinstated, however, the District wants to put a letter of reprimand in his file.
   
   
3. Tell a teacher who went through a harrowing battle with cancer that you are unwilling to let them work on a modified schedule because they "missed the deadline."
4. Close a popular program with a successful teacher at one high school because the principal has decided that sports is more important.
5. Increase class size by 8 students (20 students to 28 students in k-3) due to budget constraints, but be unwilling to reduce administration even though there are less teachers and less student enrollment.
   

These are just a few of the incidences that I have had to deal with since school let out. The capper to all of this is that the person I need to speak to regarding these issues is not returning my calls. I have talked to him briefly on the phone, but when he answers it, he tells me he is in a meeting and will call me back. Tomorrow, I think I may just camp outside his door.
