First and foremost I finally got David out of Sunnymead Middle and into Landmark with a remarkable teacher, secondly I also got a break and was interviewed for a permanent position with the district and now I am working at Hidden Springs Elementary for 3.5 hours. Unfortunate I did not get to keep my 6 hour position at Canyon Springs High School, as much as my teacher Mrs. Longo pleaded with the administrators and HR it was a "no go". So I went from subbing 6 hours to a perm. position of 3.5 hours.
Funny thing though, when I was interviewed back in January 30 I was told by Mr. Frazier that there was only 3 hr positions available and was I still interested, of course I am...duh...permanent position of 3 hrs is better then subbing forever. So I was o.k. with it...but during my orientation on March 12 I saw 4 other aides there, two of which I knew, and all 4 got hired for 6 hour permanent positions. All of us at Elementary schools???? hmmm. Anyways, I kind of feel that I got the short end of the stick, regardless did Frazier do this to hurt me/ who knows, but for now I am o.k with 3.5 hours.
But as anyone who has worked for MVUSD knows that they hold grudges and they don't see the big picture as to how aides, teachers, staff can be better utilized to make MVUSD function more professional and better for our kids. Everyone I have talked to has always said something negative about this district, it is sad that the people who run the show can care less. I love this city...don't get me wrong and I love what I do but unless we clean house and reform this system we will always be the bad example of what not to do, and all we can do as parents is never give up and speak up for what is right.
As to the latest on my son's teacher at Sunnymead, last I heard when David left within two weeks Mr. Hansen and the entire staff was removed and replaced. Mr. Hansen is Finally being investigated by the district and hopefully they can see the what is really wrong with the system and that I was not a crazy mom gathering more crazy moms to protest. I was just a concern parent and I was not looking to getting anyone fired just to please fix what is wrong with it and it is sad that others had to pay for Mr. Hansen's five year mistake.
Well, till then keep smiling and keep fighting there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
