Originally due last Friday, Round 1 vacancies were available on the weekend following some technical difficulties in posting on the DDSB's staff intranet. You may have noticed that there are a little over 50 FTE positions available in Round 1, but there are currently 100 teachers that are surplus to their schools (NOT redundant). The Board has indicated that the system-level assignments (e.g., literacy coaches, facilitators) that have been vacated because their term limit has been reached, have not yet been posted but will help to generate another dozen or so positions. This is notable because it has created an imbalance of sorts - those members have been incorporated into their home school's staffing, possibly creating staff surplus, but the corresponding vacated position is not yet posted. These positions, along with retirements, leaves of absence, maternity leaves, etc., will all help to rectify the imbalance between the surplus numbers and the numbers of vacancies in the system.
At this time, the DDSB still hopes that part time teachers will be able to apply to increase their teaching assignment in Round 2, but is closely monitoring this situation. Worst-case scenario? An additional transfer round would be established to allow the increase in teaching time, before positions are posted externally. I will keep you apprised as the staffing process continues...
