Right now it is hard to tell what will happen. Most likely non-tenure teachers will continue to be on very shaky footing, but I am also looking at the response that some teachers are having to the potential of the new lower salary, due to the furloughs. I do feel that Kamehameha will have an even bigger draw for many of the islands best teachers, and charter schools may have a better standing, too.
Time will also tell how the furloughs transition into test scores. I cannot imagine that the days off will have a positive test score impact & will probably cause test score drops, esp. in the schools that can least afford it. Those that are nearing the end of restructuring are heading into the potential of dramatic staffing changes.
