(Memphis 10/13/2011) From Memphis City Schools: "Today, Memphis City Schools made the difficult decision to eliminate 33 teaching positions across the district due to budget shortfalls. Teachers are the heart of schools and eliminating positions is a decision that we do not make lightly.
Throughout this process the District has worked side-by-side with the Memphis Education Association (MEA) in assisting 600 surplused teachers in finding/filling positions matched to their expertise, the vast majority of which were selected by principal/teacher agreement, and a small amount placed by seniority as outlined in the MCS-MEA agreement.
Unfortunately, this year, the number of surplus teachers exceeded the number of available positions. We will continue to work closely with principals and the MEA to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to students as well as ensure the questions/concerns of affected teachers are addressed."
