Teachers: The Spec Doesn't Have The Facts

The Hamilton Spectator published an article today saying "High schools will lose eight full-time positions."

We don't know where The Spec got their facts from, but here are the numbers as they stand right now:

48 teachers still redundant

25.87 FTE (full-time equivalency) teachers redundant

I don't know if The Spec got their numbers from the HWDSB, because we would to know that 18 full-time positions have been re-employed beyond our current numbers. If The Spec invented the numbers on their own, we don't know what formula they used to determine such results.

We will follow up to try and clarify where the misinformation originated.
