[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has insanely good benefits and for everyone I know who works there, it's a second salary -- wife works FCPS, husband does something higher-paying but less secure (much like the DC families who have one fed for the stability and one private sector for the cash).[/quote]

I know one teacher who was on maternity leave three times in 4 years. And not over the summer either. During the school year.  Appears to have taken the job for the benefits since her husband had a good job.[/quote]

Prior PP here.  This is the kind of thing I'm talking about.  I know a teacher who did the same.  Yearlong maternity leave, three times in a row.  [b]She still has her decently-paying job.[/quote][/b]

Simple supply and demand.  If FCPS doesn't show flexibility to good teachers who are willing to work for mediocre pay (with the cost of living here) and often have quite a commute to their school (since some of the best schools with the most demanding parents are in neighborhoods where teachers can't afford to live on their salaries) the system would soon run out of decent teachers.
