Status Update... keep praying

I talked to an inside source last week that told me there are still permanent teachers that haven't been placed for the 2010-2011 school year. That means that they all have to be placed before there are any jobs available for temporary teachers like me. There are currently 3 jobs that will open up a spot for those 5 but the question is... what about the other 2? Will they be placed before the school year starts? Until that happens.... well I just said it- I'm out. There are part time positions @ 5 schools and I turned in applications at all 5 schools. With these positions there are benefits but between the pay cuts this year and the less than 100% position, it would mean a significant pay cut. If I get one of these positions I can still be in the running for a higher % position. I really want to be full time and I really want a classroom position not a Resource position (or Teacher on Special Assignment- commonly called TOSA).
I know, I'm whining!
The district has already started the year round tracks with a 97% student turn out rate (that is down 130 students). No one will know what the full % is until the traditional school year starts but as of now, no new classes have been formed. We need a miracle in the state of CA or at least in the city of Anaheim. Hey anyone out there want to donate 25 million to the Anaheim City School Districts to lower class size so I can have a job? I'm losing hope.
