Did 2 rounds of interviews. Seemed to
go well but almost 4 weeks have gone by without any news. I sent a thank you email and a follow-up email. Only asked for an update on timeline or if I was no longer being considered - short and polite. Zero response. Is this typical for the DOE? I find it highly disrespectful to not just take 3 seconds to type back thanks but you’re A No. Is this how the DOE says no?
I was made aware of a potential opening at a specialized high school and I'm wondering what it's like - the admin, the parents, the workload. I assume the vast majority of the kids are highly motivated but I'm not sure if there's anything else that's substantially different. I haven't taught at a DOE school before
Good Morning fellow teachers!
My District 75 school is hiring for the 2026-2027 school year. We're looking for teachers with Special Ed licenses (or CTE for the high school) for our 3 schools, including the brand new Kindergarten (which will probably include 1st and 2nd graders as well) that will be opening next year. if you'd like to be a founding teacher, that's the place for you!
As our school is part of District 75, we are part of Chapter 683, which pays you 17.5% your salary for working during the summer. It's very good money.
Also if you are hired before June 15th, you are elegible for a stipend for early commitment!
If you are interested, please comment below and DM me for further details (I'll give the name of the school and the locations of each site).
Hi I am seeking a reproductive endocrinologist to get help with infertility. I spoke to a representative of the NYC PPO plan on the phone today and she was unable to find a doctor who is in-network for this plan. This means I’d have to pay out of pocket for treatment which would be exorbitant.
I cannot be the only person stuck in this situation.
Any help is super appreciate thank you
I'm currently a sub teacher and I'm looking at other schools that I would feel comfortable subbing at but I do not want to sub at a school that is toxic that I would not feel comfortable at . Please feel free to leave any school names to avoid, TIA
Did you guys receive the email from human resources about $50 ticket lottery? Scared it might be a bad link.
hi everyone! i currently work in a nightmare of a private school and will be finishing out the year & starting Hunter for MSped in the fall.
I have a DOE principal who’s willing to nominate me to substitute in an elementary school, which is my preference as I’ll be heading to the DOE eventually.
I’m worried about making enough money – if I can sub 4X/week or more that would be enough. would I be able to expect these hours? I understand it won’t look like this week to week (ie maybe some weeks full time and some with 2-3 days) but overall is this way off base? Would I also need to be a substitute at another school to pull this off? Willing to travel! When can you get added to sub central and substitute at other schools?
The principal is unable to nominate me until the window opens again in August/September, anything I should do before then to ensure I’m a good candidate who could get right to work?
Thanks again everyone!
First of all I’m not a teacher (I just thought it would be appropriate to post this here). As I stated above, I bought a stolen laptop. Let me start from the beginning though. I was in the need (guess I still am) of a laptop that could run windows at a decent speed. My budget was pretty limited so I decided to look through FB Marketplace. As I was scrolling though the offers, I saw a Lenovo 13w (8gb of RAM, 256gb of storage) going for $100. It seemed pretty good for my budget so I decided to message the seller. It was kind of sketchy since he didn’t want to include a charger, but he was willing to lower the price so I let it pass. The other thing was that when I asked for more pictures, the top of the laptop said “property of NYC DOE”. I asked about it and he said that they let them keep them after they graduated. I didn’t really buy this so I (like any normal person) decided to ask the all knowing ChatGPT. I made the guy run some commands and other things that GPT told me to run, and they all came out fine. That and the fact that I was really in the need a laptop made me jump on the deal. Long story short, once I got back home and tried to reset it, it showed me that it was locked to the NYC DOE… I messaged the guy and he basically said screw you, and told me to just sell it if I wanted my money back. I was planning on just leaving it as a nice reminder of why I shouldn’t buy something if it doesn’t give me complete peace (and I don’t have the heart to sell it to someone else knowing it’s locked lol), but I thought I might as well just give it back in case a student needs it or something (I read that sometimes students need to return them to pass).
I’m in Brooklyn and I am available usually after 4pm. Also, if anyone knows of someone selling a cheap laptop that can run windows decently I would be really thankful if you could leave a reference. Thanks for reading and have a great rest of the day!
P.S. - I can send pictures and the Asset tag and other stuff if needed (this sub doesn’t let me post pictures)
Anybody survive an absolute BS sexual harassment allegation? What was the process what was the result. It’s insane to me that someone could say something as little as “they stood too close” and it blows up into a potentially career knocking case.
Hi!
I’m a current tenured DOE teacher looking for a placement closer to home for next school year. I’ve been on a few interviews and demos. The process seems to be going well and I seem well received. I also know in the big picture it’s slightly on the earlier side of the season.
Some schools have expressed they’re working out a few things on their end and will be in touch asap, while others explicitly asked if I applied on open market and said they have a few more demos and are waiting to find out how many lines they have open.
I know budget meetings haven’t happened yet and schools haven’t technically received their budgets for next year and many are waiting on reduced class size funding.
I’m just curious if schools are giving real official offers at this time?
Thanks!
Hello. I live well into Long Island and had no way of getting to work the two days during the LIRR strike. My payroll secretary said those days would be coded as personal data and taken out of my CAR. However form OP-201 allows being excused for up to two consecutive days with superintendent approval. Thoughts? Thanks.
I work at a school in the DOE, and I’ve noticed a level of nepotism that I didn’t really expect going in. There are multiple situations where a student’s mom, grandparent, or aunt also works at the school, and they’re constantly dropping into classrooms where their child is, checking in unannounced.
On top of that, they frequently question subs or staff about behavior concerns involving their own child, which can make it hard to maintain clear boundaries in the classroom. It sometimes feels like there’s no separation between their role as staff and their role as family, and it creates a pretty complicated dynamic for everyone involved.
I am a speech therapist at a D75 school. I am currently 36 weeks pregnant. I have had some preterm labor complications since 35 weeks that prompted my doctor to recommend I limit physical activity and stop working. I applied for maternity disability on SOLAS and provided the doctor's note with the diagnosis and prognosis. Once baby is born, I will be applying for UFT parental leave.
Even though I put my due date (6/13) on the application, the automatic end date for the disability leave generated on the application was 6/30. I wasn't able to edit this date. Also, I have a c-section scheduled for 6/9 so I know I will be giving birth earlier than my due date anyway. My payroll secretary suggested I call HR connect to make sure this is ok. When I called, the lady I spoke with basically didn't know why it did that and suggested it might be because my due date is on a Saturday so maybe I should withdraw the application and put 6/12 as the due date. Does any of this even matter though? I figure that the birth date is going to be different than my due date no matter what. I feel kind of weird putting the wrong due date when my medical documentation shows the actual due date.
I called the UFT last week who gave me completely wrong information about how to apply for maternity disability so I'm feeling a little disillusioned with everyone at the DOE/UFT right now. No one seems to have accurate information about what I should do when this seems like this must be a pretty common situation for pregnant women at the DOE. Would love any insight from anyone who has experienced this or knows about this type of leave.
I'm a secondary social studies teacher looking for a high school social studies position, and I want to stay away from schools with shady administrations, as I've had my fair share of horror stories with principals. My nightmare school was 47 ASLHS in Gramercy. Does anyone have any schools they wouldn't recommend to their worst enemy?
Hey just trying to understand both perspectives of having or wanting metal detectors in your school vs. not having or wanting them.
I know the budget isn't out yet but is any DOE school looking for secretary or a community title job? Just putting feelers out! DM me! Thanks!
Hi all - I am an SLP attempting to get into D75. I am new to NY so forgive my ignorance on the NYC DOE hiring process. I submitted my application through the online system but made it a general application. I see that its "under review" before it will move onto the "New Teacher Finder" stage.
What can I expect from this? Do principals reach out? Or do I need to apply to specific schools? Please advise - I don't want to miss any steps or opportunities.
Thanks!
Anyone get extended summer rising offers yet?
Thanks!
