misinformed

matt and i both found out today that we will be receiving pink slips from the district...strickly based on the number of years we have in the district. apparantly 5 years isn't enough to give us job security. we are a little shocked and don't really know what this all means. we have to go through an appeal process, etc and i have no idea at this point if we will be teachers next year. we are going to try to stay positive because they have to "over pink slip" and then hire back. we might be okay. more to follow, but just wanted to share my a-little-bit-sad heart.
