I know a school where such a person has done programning in a middle school for many years after his retirement. There is also an "F' status guidance counselor, lab specialist, and several others. Much of the work these people do should be done by administrators. Also, since the "F" status people are hired and fired at the principal's total discretion, those principals sometimes abuse the F-Status people. It is not uncommon for them to be used as de-facto supervisors, spying on our members, in exchange for, in some cases, a cool 30 grand.

My school hired 2 F-status teachers to cover one maternity leave. A full-time sub would have been cheaper. I know these teachers get @ $250 per day. There are ATRs doing day to day work. This makes no sense to me. I also know, and I'm sure you do, that some F-status employees are friends of the principal and get paid a nice amount of money just to "help out".

(These teachers do not necessarily cost twice as much as a sub. Their pay rates vary.) This month, May 2008, there are 2,383 per diem F-Status teachers. That figure holds quite constant over the last four years (2,487 in May 2005). F-Status teachers generally have part-time assignments for a variety of legitimate reasons. Hi Schoolgal,
