Where have you been?  All DMV school systems are this desperate, and have been since 2020.  Good for FCPS.  Thanks for posting, OP.  [/quote]

They are not desperate.  I am a veteran teacher and have been interviewing with all the counties recently.  I've had offers from quite a few school administrators, but run into trouble with HR when I turned out to be too expensive, or wasn't willing to accept a lower pay step than where I should be based on experience and education.  I think they are primarily interested in new teachers or people with no teaching experience because they are much cheaper than experienced teachers.  I see this as a bad sign for the teaching profession.  [/quote]

I'm not even sure they want new teachers. My kid is already certified and finishing a Master's from a very well-regarded program. Has sent apps to a bunch of schools and so far got one interview and was turned down. Crickets from the others. But yes, at 64k a year with a master's, a teacher trainee who makes 50k and can be replaced in year when they quit does turn out to be a lot cheaper. No pension and 50k forever![/quote]
