[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS could change some things to open up the hiring gap. A big one is to change the pay scale for teachers with more than 12 years experience. The drops after that (it say 15 years, but the drop it to 12 because of missed-step years) means teachers with more experience tend to go counties such as APS, who will pay them at their experience level. I considered transferring to FCPS a few years ago to shorten my commute. There were about 50 openings in the area for which I would have applied, but Human Resources wouldn’t budge on that pay scale policy. I would have had a 20k salary decrease. APS had been willing to negotiate even above scale to get highly qualified teachers in high needs positions. [/quote]

It's frustrating when teachers with less experience than I have make more than I do because I've been subjected to numerous step/ pay freezes.

If I have 20 years of experience in FCPS, but I am only on Step 16 due to step freezes, and a teacher with 17 years of experience from another county transfers in, they'd make more money than me. That's disappointing.

FCPS should reward teachers who have worked for them for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or more years. Currently, all we get is a nylon lanyard when we hit one of those milestones. A lanyard! [/quote]
