I recalled just this aft that "All School Social Workers" and "All School Psychologists" are also among schools' staff to include on that list of APEX "strategic" comp victims.

KNS reminds just tonight that athletic coaches also fall prey.

Powell High's Coach Inman and Coach McGill just resigned, as has Fulton High's Coach Skeen.

Says Inman:

"I've been doing it off and on since about 1983," said Skeen. "Really, the difficulty of teaching at one school (Spring Hill Elementary) and going to coach at another school — with all the requirements being put on teachers with the new evaluation system — it's just getting harder.

The updated list looks like this (notes in parentheses stand for the grade levels impacted, as in E=Elementary, M=Middle, H=High):

All Social Studies teachers (E/M/H)
All Social Science teachers (H)
All Foreign Language teachers of any sort (H)
All Physical Education teachers (E/M/H)
All Art teachers (E/M/H)
All Music/Chorus teachers (E/M/H)
All Band teachers (M/H)
All Special Education teachers of any sort (E/M/H)
All English as a Second Language teachers (E/M/H)
All Business-related teachers (M/H)
All Health Science-related teachers (M/H)
All Vocational teachers of any sort (H)
All School Social Workers (E/M/H)
All School Psychologists (E/M/H)
All Athletic Coaches (M/H)

It sounds like all those

It sounds like all those teachers need to start stressing math and language skills and discipline so their students get more from the tested teachers.

Also add "All teachers of grades PreK through 2(E)" to the list.

According to the TEAM website, this "list" comprises 55% of all teachers statewide.
