[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be curious to hear from teachers.  I’ve heard that teachers prefer to commute to MCPS or other counties rather than teach in PGCS.  I don’t know if that’s true—my sense is that MCPS pays a bit higher.  Obviously if the best teachers are attracted elsewhere, that’s going to be a big part of it.  It’s so easy around here for people to just commute to a higher paying County for work but live in the County with the lower COL.[/quote]

Not a teacher, but I just checked the salary scales and MCPS is only a smidge higher for teachers with a bachelors.  They give a bump for teachers with a masters and it doesn't appear that PGPS does -- most of the young teachers I know graduating now get masters before they even start working (you can do it in 5 years combined at many schools), so that may be part of it.  I assume there are probably other benefits to working in MCPS over PGPS, but base salary does not seem to be a big part of it, at least for those with just a bachelor's.  [/quote]
