Hi Diane
I work in Grand Rapids and I know that it is difficult to land a job in this area. Many schools here have been cutting back in a lot of areas. I know that Rockford ( I don't work there) cut 4 or 2 (can't remember
which) special education positions and they are increasing their class sizes to avoid hiring new teachers. It's the same in many districts around here.

I personally WOULD NEVER return to subbing unless it was the last straw and I had to to survive. How's that for advice????? I do know that when a sub disappears from a school she/he is usually forgotten unless you find some way

to keep your name mentioned time and again. You know that old addage out of sight out of mind? It applies.

I don't really know what to tell you...I feel for you and wish you the best of luck.
