[quote=Anonymous]I am a substitute at my child’s school and am aware of a few amazing teachers not coming back next year. All of them say that pay is the reason. They cannot afford to life close to Arlington, and so they are way more incentivized to work where they can live. For the same salary, they can buy a house and have a quick commute. Staying with APS means continuing to rent a condo or commuting 45+ min. (And if they have kids, it means having a different schedule than their kid!) How can we solve this problem?! We pay these crazy high taxes and property values in part because of the schools. If APS can’t retain quality, experienced teachers… what are we doing? [/quote]
