[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He won’t be able to teach in LCPS again or sister counties nearby like FCPS. His license with DOE may also be in jeopardy, especially as he’s a new teacher already violating contract mid year. All in all, this is a really bad move if he ever wants or needs to teach in Virginia again. To the degree that when teachers do this, we know it means they’re leaving TEACHING, not just the school, because it has such a negative impact on your career. His best bet is gut it out the next <4 months and apply to other schools now during the licensed transfer process which is open through Friday.

This isn't necessarily true. I left a teaching job in November (I didn't like the school/admin) and immediately got a job in a neighboring county.  There were zero consequences.[/quote]

Was this a public to public transfer (LCPS employee to FCPS/APS employee) because that is HIGHLY unusual if so. They have reciprocity agreements that they will NOT hire a sister county teacher after a certain date specifically to prevent mid-year vacancies being created by an LCPS teacher bouncing to an open FCPS position or whatever. If you went private to private or even public to private that is different because privates don’t require VDOE licensure. [/quote]

It was public to public, but the difference was that I quit one (gave it a couple weeks for the holidays) then applied and got hired for the other. 1st application/interview and I was hired a couple hours later. I’ve been teaching for over 20 years. They asked me about my last job. I explained the work environment. They sympathized with me and hired me.[/quote]

Interesting. Probably a sign of how few available teachers there are to take these spots because you and I both know in the past you wouldn’t have been able to do this . Even quitting mid year used to put your license in jeopardy. [/quote]
