EducationStaffing & Scheduling3MediumTeacher$ implied
Teachers with less seniority are inequitably assigned to teach classes with high numbers of IEP and EML students, resulting in unbalanced workloads and no additional compensation or reduced duties.
No transparent or equitable system exists for distributing teaching assignments; seniority informally dictates scheduling, leading to disproportionate burdens on less senior teachers without extra pay or support.
