Without last-in first-out our schools (and village services) would be totally run by friends and family.
Look at the schools. There are lots of family trees in the RPS system. Some schools only hire on the friends and family plan. Who hires in the middle schools? Without regulation only unaffiliated staff would be let go and family members would be moved into safe positions. We have union rules to keep the politics out of the layoff process.
It is not about effective and ineffective teachers. It is about the “Friends and Family” plan that exists in this town and many others.
