[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10+ years in DC area privates. Not a teacher, think a student support role, have a masters in my field and a total of 14 years experience in my field. My salary is low 80’s. In DCPS I’d be over 100k[/quote]

I’m curious why you don’t jump to DCPS? [/quote]

Some day I might. I’m licensed and keep it current. I tried several years ago and the offers I got were schools with much longer commutes and/or working with a grade level I don’t prefer. Also, switching schools is hard… emotionally and logistically. In private schools you are set up to resign before you can have another job lined up (in a private or public). That is a tough move to make. [/quote]

I’m curious when you have to resign in private school if you are not coming back the next year? 
In MCPS, you have until July to resign I think.[/quote]

I've been in a few private schools. They have varied a little, but it's some degree of "I intend to come back" around spring break time. Some schools are more official/binding than others but the vibe is that it's VERY poor form to say you intend to come back and then find another job. People of course do it and there is some risk involved[/quote]
