For now, but once they start putting in the Charter schools, the teachers will need to interview with the new administrators and may or may not get the job as more schools close, the teachers will either be layoff, or they will quit as they may need to drive many miles to go their their assigned public schools or forced to teach a different subject.

I expect a lot of teachers will be pushed to quit.

Only the good teachers will quit because they’re the ones who can find other jobs. The incompetent lifers will hold the on until retirement.

Sad, but true

I hope charter school movement accelerates Rey - an effective and efficient use of public funds for improved education.  Parents, teachers and children all working together to improve lives in their own community.

If only that were the case. Excuse me for being an unbeliever, but everything the politicians touch in PR becomes corrupted.

Rey,  I must agree,  a friend of mine here, a native Puerto Rican, professional with extensive construction experience, calls it the Puerto Rican Mafia.  Getting public officals to issue permits, navagating the bureaucracy, payoffs & influence for relatives or bribes -- it seems a way of life in PR.       

As it has always been in LatAm, sadly.
