            The end of the school year not only marks a time when goodbyes are said to classmates and friends, but also a time to say good-bye to teachers who will not return the following year due to retirement or relocation.             

With few staff members in subjects such as Geosystems, Physics, and Latin, teachers may have the responsibility of widening their schedules to teach more classes. New-coming teachers have not been hired yet for the next school year. However, the vacancies are soon to be filled after distaff, a time when teachers from overcrowded or over-employed schools take part in a mix-up to apply for jobs at new schools.

“At Langley, employees have until June 1 to resign ‘without prejudice,’ which means that if they resign after, the county probably will not ever hire them back,” said Principal Mathew Ragone. Because of this deadline, a full list of leaving teachers will be made official on June 2.

Among the members of Langley’s staff that will not return next year are Mr. Mathew Howard, Ms. Daizha Heberling, and Ms. Cheryl Edwards.
