TFA Contract not Needed
Nevermind whether or not we need Teach for America in Seattle, I don't see why we need a contract with Teach for America.
The Teach for America corps members will have conditional certifications, which function identically to traditional certification. In Phase III of our hiring process the District accepts applications from certificated teachers who are not already employed by the District. Consequently, we don't need a contract with Teach for America for their members to be allowed to apply for jobs as teachers in our District. Their conditional certification, granted by the state, allows it.
The contract does oblige the District to pay Teach for America $4,000 for each one that we happen to hire out of
