What does this mean?

Hi everyone, I am a first-year first-grade teacher at a public school district. In my state teachers are allowed to take a 1-year maternity leave unpaid, and technically, I am a LTS covering for that. For context, as I am aware I am doing well and a couple of months ago when I was stressing about mid year data for my students, my principal walked in before school one day to say that they dont make hiring decisions based on data, and that she knows I am doing great work. She said that she would love me to return next year if there is space and the budget allows. My colleagues appear to think I am doing well. Parents seem to be happy, and one family even told me that they hope I get their younger daughter one day. In my data meeting with myself, my principal, and AP last month, my principal said I was "crushing it" and my AP said it was obvious that I know my kids, which to her is a good sign. Here is the piece I am wondering about. I am hearing rumors among my coworkers about who is retiring. I also heard a rumor this week that the person I am "covering" for is planning on resigning. Yesterday, I got an email from the executive assistant to the superintendent that said that she had been looking at my file and wanted to confirm the degree I have, and that it was not a requirement for anything but she was just wondering. I responded saying I have a bachelors and my initial license, and am planning to begin my masters in the fall. She said that was great and that there will be multiple openings for next year at my school, and that if I am hired for that I would get tuition reimbursement. Am I reading too much into things? Why would she need to look at my file? submitted by /u/GroundbreakingPear12 [link] [comments]
