[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS has a very high rate of teacher turnover which is worrying because they pay teachers higher than all the surrounding districts. [/quote] Pay isn't everything. I know a teacher that makes 6,000 less a year in Prince Georges than they did in DC. But their housing costs half what their rent was in DC and they have twice as much space. Even when the lived in PG but worked in DC, they had to deal with the commute. An extra $500 a month (less after taxes) just wasn't worth the expense of living in DC or the hassle of commuting.[/quote]
