Wish we were having the same luck. Principal seems to have completely ignored our request to carefully consider which K teacher to give DS6 last August. Don't think he took it the least bit serioulsy - even though I had a county counsellor with me too. Have planned to asked about next year next week - because I figure hey will have some totally lame excuse about not knowing who's staying and which teacher's are getting cut here too .With all the cuts - all the mroe reason to homeschool -but while they still try to help DS6 this year, I give them a chance and don't outright mention it. No point burning bridges. Just wish were in a better neighborhood - and yet this school pulls from neighborhoods better than this one - it just pulls from a few that a slightly worse too. No clusters....no teachers ...no money soon I expect ...just sucks.
