Layoffs shift TFA teachers to charters
The mass teacher layoffs this summer have driven more Teach for America corps members in Philadelphia to charters and virtually decimated their presence in District-run schools.
Most of the second-year TFA teachers were laid off by the District and only a dozen of the 145 newly-minted ones were hired, according to TFA officials. That makes fewer than 30 in District schools. Five second-teachers were never laid off and 12 others were called back and accepted positions.
