JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Some Duval County students could have a new teacher or classroom assignment following the district\u2019s annual enrollment review.<\/p>\n
Duval County Public Schools is reallocating 110 teacher positions after finalizing student enrollment numbers from the first two weeks of school.<\/p>\n
The process allows schools with higher-than-expected enrollment to gain teachers, while schools with lower enrollment may lose positions.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it could,\u201d Jessica Reyst, executive vice president of the Duval Teachers Union, said. \u201cIf the school\u2019s enrollment numbers are down, yes, it could happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reyst said principals typically notify parents if staffing changes lead to students moving classrooms or schools.<\/p>\n
In a letter to parents, district officials said the reallocation represents a net reduction of 110 teacher positions. The district said the move is primarily a reduction in positions, not people.<\/p>\n
Some of the positions are already vacant, school leaders said, meaning the changes may not be noticeable to families.<\/p>\n
Reyst said the number should also be viewed in the context of the district\u2019s overall teaching workforce, which includes about 6,800 teachers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re talking of a unit size of teachers, of 6,800 teachers, and we\u2019re only talking about having to adjust 110 positions, I know for those 110 that it seems like, \u2018Oh, this is a lot,\u2019\u201d Reyst said. \u201cBut if you look big picture, it\u2019s not an enormous amount of people.\u201d<\/p>\n
DCPS has not released the specific schools affected by the reallocations.<\/p>\n
The Duval Teachers Union is also monitoring its membership numbers. Under state law, the union must maintain membership equal to at least 60% of its bargaining unit.<\/p>\n
The union said it is still finalizing its membership percentage.<\/p>\n
