At my daughters previous school, we had gone through several principals but many long term teachers who knew the ropes. What some of the more experienced principals have done, is similar to what my husbands work place sometimes does to retain union members that have less seniority than those that aren’t as skilled.
In the school, they might reconfigure the job description so that it doesn’t fit the senior teacher, or make it less than full time to make the job less attractive. Im not saying its right, but apparently the principals didn’t like to deal with the procedure to reassign senior teachers, so they would give them positions that were too much & hope they would quit.

The school board doesn’t usually have anything to do with hiring anyone but the superintendent- oh but that is another thing- you still could speak at a board meeting in support of new teachers- students in our district speak at board meetings all the time, it’s a good way to communicate on educational issues- well get them heard anyway.
