[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for APS and several of my colleagues resigned after this year. APS pay and benefits are no longer competitive with neighboring school districts. If you can’t afford to live in Arlington, why would you commute here when you can get an equally paying job near your house in Fairfax or Loundon or Alexandria?

Arlington parents are a tough crowd to please…some amazing families but also some scary ones. My friends didn’t feel the juice was worth the squeeze, so to speak. Makes me sad because I am watching some really incredible teachers walk away from APS.

Bridget Loft and Dr Duran need to rally their troops, improve compensation and do everything they can to boost morale. APS needs to hang on to talented, experienced teachers.

For what it’s worth, I am an APS parent too. My DD’s AWESOME teacher just accepted a job in another county and she will make more money and have a shorter commute. Why wouldn’t she do that? [/quote]

Makes perfect sense. I would do the exact same thing… I think most of us would. [/quote]
