Special education
teachers who served as education evaluators during the 2002 - 2003 school year (or were on
leave or
sabbatical during that year) will have a preference for this assignment in each year that it exists, in whatever form that it exists, as more fully set forth in the Memorandum of Agreement between the parties dated October 28, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Notably, a significant proportion (around three in 10) of the younger
teachers are
leaving with an intention to return, for example going on
sabbatical, travelling or starting a family.
