Coaching Staff

[FlyingMonkey]

Unfortunately several school districts in SETX are having budgeting issues for next year and therefore terminating numerous teachers. Any CONFIRMED coaches losing their jobs?

The word on the street in Deweyville is that they are about to lose two of the great coaches. Eventhough this is their first year in Deweyville, both of these men have made a huge impact on the athletic program. Coach Cupples (varsity baseball coach) and Coach Mitchell (varsity girls basketball coach) certainly do not need to be let go. They both do their jobs and do them well. The kids respect them and love playing for them.  There has been several people voicing their opinions about why both of these men SHOULD keep their jobs but it isn't looking good. The board is supposed to make final decision on April 4. It is going to truly impact the program in Deweyville as these coaches have brought great things to the district. The kids are going to suffer greatly if something is not done to keep them. There will be a serious coach shortage and coaches are going to burn out early on in the year and it will show.

Rumor I heard is a lot of kids may Try to leave the school district If this Happens!!!!!!

It just blows my mind to think of this happening. So many are going to suffer due to all these cuts in all the districts. Anyone on here have their job in jeopardy?

Watch for the private schools to really explode all over the state,big money will start pouring into these schools especially at the lower levels to keep small class sizes for a better teacher student ratio.

the only problem with private schools is that they are way expensive. Still hoping that something happens and they keep the coaches in question in D-ville

At Leander ISD, Austin area, they are cutting 213 teachers. I found that out yesterday. Blows my mind. There are more than one high schools there, but still, 213

How many jobs are being cut at TEA?? With so many teachers losing their jobs, they don't need a big staff in Austin. Just saying.

Not to mention he is a Science teacher. How many coaches do you know that are science teachers? Aren't too many. Hard to get rid of a guy when he fills a hole as a Science teacher and is also a solid ball coach.

heard through the grapevine that Deweyville cut a male coach and a female coach yesterday afternoon. NOT GOOD!!!!!

I heard that the Lumberton Varsity Assistant Coach will be one of the teachers that won't be back next year.

I wish that were true but I doubt it.  They are just too damn expensive for that to happen.  I'm sure most parents would prefer sending their kids to a private school but it just costs too much.

[xavierbreath]

Is the same percentage of administration staff being cut as teachers?

I really don't know the ratio of administrators to teachers, but I believe, that if your district needs to reduce teachers by say 10%, then shouldn't administration be cut by the same amount?

I know that administration is important, but are they as important as the teacher in the classroom?  I don't know....that's why I am asking.

Have not heard of administration cuts locally yet.

any updates on cuts due to budgets?

Ive been looking at this topic for the past few days and I finally have to say something. It is really hard for me to understand why so many teachers and coaches are losing their jobs. These are the people who spend a great deal of time with our youth guiding and directing them. Teaching them to do their best and not to give up when times get rough. These are in my opinion 2 of the most important lessons anyone can learn. With all the cuts going on, what is this saying to the seniors this year and to those who graduated last year who plan to become future teachers and coaches.
