Rhee's IMPACT = (Equals)-the terminations of masses of teachers, administrators and school personnel
- at-will central office hiring and firing
- a revolving door workforce created by terminations, RIF's & employee resignations
-ongoing hiring of new teachers and staff despite claims of budget deficits
- the erosion of due process rights for workers
- a hostile teaching and learning environment
- appointment of numerous unqualified administrators
-threatening new leaders who disparage teachers in order to lead
-a self-made budget deficit to justify terminating primarily veteran teachers
-draconian performance based appraisals with inadequate staff development & roll-out
-police escorts of RIF'd employees
-fabricated lies by Mayor Fenty/Chancellor Rhee about RIF'd employees performance appraisal
-over sized classes, teachers assigned outside of certification, cancellation of high school classes needed to graduate, student unrest, parent dis-satisfaction
