[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How far away?  Several of the local jurisdictions have a 'no poach' agreement.  It all depends on your relationship with your Principal.  If you have been on the up and up and he/she is okay with it- go for it.  We had a teacher go be a librarian within FCPS on the day befpre school started- after the class list had been posted. [/quote]

It's a neighboring county. My principal is supportive, but she doesn't know me all that well (new to the school). I've been very upfront with my administration about my desire to find something closer to home. However, if this one doesn't work out, I'll likely step on the brakes until next year. I currently commute from a different county which has become more difficult now that I have kids. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my current school.[/quote]

The neighboring county will not pick you up until you have resigned. And at this point, the resignation will be with prejudice regardless of what the principal says. A few years ago, you might have been able to do this without prejudice but HR is pretty serious about this now.

Thanks for the input! This is good to know. [/quote]

That's not always true. It depends on the county. Good luck on the interview and be upfront with everyone involved.  I refused to resign a few years ago until I had an actual written job offer. It was too risky for my family. Everything worked out fine. [/quote]

This works out if you do not ever plan to return to FCPS. If you're fine with resigning with prejudice (which HR will do now), AND you have a job offer from another school system AND you don't plan to return to FCPS, then yes, make the change. [/quote]
