City Teachers, Staff Stuck in Limbo Take Buyout

LESLIE BRODY

The New York City Department of Education said Thursday it would pay $1.8 million in severance packages for 115 teachers and other staff who had stayed on the payroll even though they had no permanent jobs.

This step aims to reduce an oft-criticized pool of tenured teachers called the Absent Teacher Reserve who lingered in limbo, often for years, after school closures or disciplinary proceedings made it hard for them to get lasting assignments. Many bounce around as substitutes.
