Dr. Thorton is stating that the layoff restriction no longer applies, yet he is expecting teachers to follow the policies that are outlined in the contract. Teachers are being held accountable to uphold their responsibilities as stated in the contract that they are currently working under. Making statements like this creates a toxic environment in our schools and a complete mistrust in our central administration.

I fail to see how the elimination of weighting is anything other than a way to create larger classes and eliminate teaching positions. Special education students will in fact be given a more inclusive education.... in larger classes with less support. I am sure the special education students and their families will be pleased with this new and exciting " inclusion". Shameful.
