In exploring, there are things we CAN’T control… • Lewis and Clark found-- • Hostile enemies • Typhoid and dysentery • Lack of food or water We find with absences-- • Sick • Maternity Paternity • Personal Leave
Even if we can’t control, we can use information to PREDICT AND PLAN
From this data, we can figure out how many subs we need to cover sickness
It is never better to have a sub than the regular teacher. But we do not have control over these absences.
But, there are absences we CAN control, and we do create problemsfor ourselves.
48% of all subs are for training • Self inflicted: 48% of our subs are for Teaching and Learning, Athletics, PD, CTE, Special Services and Tech • Create shortages: Five of our worst days of shortage are caused by us
Total Number of Subs for Absences we Can Control • 1956 sub days at a cost of $244,500 • Departments are working to use that money differently.
Unfilled positions • Create a crisis in the building which is unacceptable. • Destroy student learning. • Destroy training opportunities. • Create competition within the district, within and between departments and buildings.
Defining unfilled • Unfilled as of 10 AM • Does not account for scrambling within building before 10 AM • Does not account for pulling people out of training • Does not account for Rhonda calling the world between 6:30 and 10 AM • Total in 12-13 of 219 Unfilled Sub positions in buildings • Filled by counselors, admin, teachers on their plan • Combining classrooms • Stress, effect on student learning
Days with Highest Numbers of Unfilled • Thursday Feb. 28 9 • Friday March 22 7 • Thursday April 25 8 • Tuesday May 28 12 • Tuesday June 4 10
Solutions: • Analyze to find danger zones • Create targeted and calendared limits for training based on day of week and week of year • Create calendar of possible IEP Work Days based on that calendar • Change philosophy: Zero tolerance for unfilled sub positions • Hire 10 people to work 180 days and 10 more to work 160 days and 10 more to work 140 days. Calendar those days now. Commit those people to us.
