[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is not a situation unique to charters.[b]  In lots of public school systems, current teachers wait until right before the start of the school year to quit so they can keep their health insurance over the summer and because *they* didn't get hired until right before the new school year.  [/b]

My brother is a teacher in a well-regarded suburban district in the DC area, and that's how he got his job--first hired as a long-term sub for someone who quit a few days before school started, and then they made it permanent.[/quote]

It depends on where they are going.  Several Northern Va schools systems have a no poaching rule with each other and in their counties.  There is a specific deadline when a teacher can inform her/his school that he/she is looking or has another job lined up.  Sort of like an open season.[/quote]

The problem is as a  pop said some teachers wait until the last minute to sever their contract so they can keep their benefits.

In DC you get a thousand dollar bonus if you announce you are severing your contract before the end if April and a thousand dollar penalty if you leave DCPS afterwards.[/quote]
