[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ALL teachers don't get paid until September, it takes forever to get that first paycheck, we all know this. MCPS posts pay schedules every year.

I feel for them but how is it different for anyone else who moves somewhere new for a job? Unless the company is very wealthy, they typically wouldn't pay for your furniture and living expenses?

Many American born teachers who work for MCPS can't even afford to live in the county, I don't think MCPS is doing anything for them either.

Am I missing something in your post?[/quote]

Paying a new employee in a salaried position who is moving for the job a moving stipend is common.

Recruiting teachers from outside the US to come here and then not providing adequate support to help them get established in one of the nation’s wealthiest areas before they begin work is not the same as teachers more broadly not being paid a living wage by MCPS, which is also true, and also sucks. If the county can’t hire local teachers for jobs here no one wants and they had to literally recruit outside the country, they have a greater responsibility as the employer to support these new employees and a modest moving stipend is reasonable and appropriate since they (allegedly)  didn’t allow them to bring housemates.

You really want your child’s special ed teacher not having sheets or furniture? [/quote]
