: I was rereading some old posts and I found this interesting.
: ": Does anyone know the total number of actual teachers that are employed in ASD??
: : Teachers/Instructors only. Not Principals, Administrators, Healthcare Professionals, etc.
: 487.5 according to the most recent Pittsburgh Business Times Guide to Western PA Schools"
: If you go back to the Leader Times article from 2005 when they passed the last contract there were 483 teachers in the district.
: This was PRIOR to the West Hills consolidation, which closed TWO schools and was supposedly going to REDUCE the number of teachers in the distrcit.
: To summarize, they closed two schools and not only didn't REDUCE the number of teachers in the district, but apparently ADDED 4 1/2.
: How does this happen?
: Why would anybody believe the same would not occur if they consolidated the high schools?
