After meeting on other issues for three hours last night, the Buffalo School Board "ran out of time" to discuss the recall of laid-off teachers.
Board President Lou Petrucci told me after the meeting that district administrators would email details to the board this morning regarding which teachers and teacher aides have been recalled, using the $1.2 million contingency funds the board released on Monday.
Well, as of 2 p.m. today (Thursday), as far as I know, the board has not yet received that information.
The Buffalo Teachers Federation, though, has.
According to the information provided to me by the BTF, 17 more teachers were recalled this week, using that $1.2 million.
Here's how that breaks down, by tenure area:
- Seven English teachers
- Four reading teachers
- Three math teachers
- One science teacher
- Two social studies teachers.
Add those 17 to the 47 recall notices sent earlier, and you get a total of 64 teachers whose layoffs have been rescinded, according to the info provided to me by the BTF.
Of that total 64, those who have been recalled include:
- 24 elementary teachers
- Nine English teachers
- Eight reading teachers
- Eight math teachers
- One science teacher
- 14 social studies teachers.
I am expecting to get this info broken down by school later this afternoon. Once I get it, I will post it.
Update (2:37 p.m.):
Just got the breakdown by school.
This gets tricky, though. Keep in mind that this indicates how many teachers who had been laid off from a particular school have had their layoff rescinded. That does not necessarily mean those teachers are returning to the school they were laid off from.
So, for instance, five layoffs from International School 45 were rescinded. That does not necessarily mean those five teachers will be returning to International School 45.
With that caveat, here is the breakdown, for all 64 teachers whose layoffs have been rescinded, they came from:
