The Ferryway school suffers from a high transient rate, both in students and in staff. our staff is becoming younger and younger as individuals retire. We need a plan to hire and hold excellent teachers as many of our staff bid out as soon as the opportunity arises. Likewise we need a plan to deter people from bidding in who are only interested in maximizing their last three years salary before retirement.
