A close-up look at NYC education policy, politics,and the people who have been, are now, or will be affected by these actions and programs. ATR CONNECT assists individuals who suddenly find themselves in the ATR ("Absent Teacher Reserve") pool and are the "new" rubber roomers, people who have been re-assigned from their life and career. A "Rubber Room" is not a place, but a process.
Write your questions down ahead of time. Amy and crew will try to focus on trivial matters they can claim victory over. The one thing you'll hear over and over is how the UFT fought hard for the ATRs and saved them from being terminated en masse. Bring a barf bag in case you toss your cookies.
How can they give three days notice for this? Very inconsiderate. And most schools go til 4 on Mondays and Tuesdays with the new contract. Why can't they print out a fact sheet?

Not much notice. Hopefully, someone will post minutes if the meetings.
