[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS pay is much lower than arlington and loudon. FCPS are over burdened with budget constraints due to the low income ESOL populations not located in the McLean area.[/quote]
There is not a meaningful difference in pay between Fairfax and Loudoun, and Arlington has a higher percentage of low income students than Fairfax.  In any event, are you saying these two teachers, in particular, left for higher pay in another jurisdiction?[/quote]

New Poster.  I don't know about Longfellow, but there were several teachers that left McLean HS last year for higher paying jobs elsewhere or similar pay in lower cost of living areas.  I don't really keep track, but it seemed like more left this past year than in previous years. [/quote]
I was at a PTA meeting this spring where the McLean principal reported on a higher than usual level of impending departures. There is also a picture up now on the school's webpage of 20 or so new staff members for the coming year, so it appears they filled the vacancies.[/quote]
