Food for Thought:
Over the course of an average child’s
education, he/she will have a
substitute for the equivalent of one
full year of school.
Make your time with students count!
Which child matters?
No child left behind means all
students have an opportunity to
learn.
Averages don’t matter to individuals.
Every child matters every day! How
can you help make a difference?
Answer the phone and come to
school!
On a given Friday in March, there were
392 teachers absent. 119 of those
positions were unfilled!
On the first day of school last year, there
were 31 subs and 3 unfilled jobs.
