Commissioner Gist today announced that RI public schools should not allow “seniority” to stand in the way of putting the best teacher where they are most needed.
“In my view,” she (Gist) wrote in a press release, “no system that bases teacher assignments solely on seniority can comply with this new regulation.”
I’m told she has backed off that a bit by saying she was simply reiterating current regs, but I still like the tone of it.
