Just got told at 3:45 on a Thursday I’m reporting to a new campus Monday. Is there anything I can do or do I have to accept it?
7th year Sped unit classroom teacher, 10+ years para experience in high school Sped before. Just got called into the principals office at 3:45 to be told by the HS principal that I’ve been picked by the district to move to an elementary school for a resource position. I really don’t want to move as I’ve worked with my kids in the department from their freshman year until now and I want to see them graduate, but our unit numbers dropped from 22 to 16 so they see having 2 teachers on campus as a redundancy. I knew this would happen eventually, but I didn’t think it would happen this soon into the school year. Do I have any rights to ask for more time or to try and fight the move? Or should I plan on staying late tomorrow to pack all my stuff while my badge still works. Houston area, not in a union. I was told by my principal that since I’m the only staff on campus with elementary experience (2 years) and am not currently coaching or in a leadership position that I was the only choice available.
