[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure the suggestion of a signing bonus was targeted at experienced teachers… more to try to win the recruitment war against PW, Loudoun, and to attract other teachers from other states [/quote]

I am searching now out of curiosity and I can’t find any local public schools that do this.  It’s an interesting idea but it would have to be significant to recruit people to the area.  There are shortages everywhere.  [/quote]

I have spent my entire career in FCPS and I don't recall them ever offering signing bonuses.[/quote]

None of the districts in this area have signing bonuses. Not sure what poster is talking about.[/quote]

Frederick Co. Maryland offered signing bonuses for SpEd about 15 years ago or so.   I remember a teacher got hired.  Showed up for a few days to collect the signing bonus and then completely disappeared.  They finally tracked down his mother to get in touch with and figure out what happened to him.  Total AWOL situation that felt very scammy.[/quote]

Could easily be mitigated… the signing bonus should be given at the end of the school year once they stick around. Or half on the front, half on the back. [/quote]
