Research! I am a CO teacher and there have been huge budget
cuts, teacher lay offs all across the state. It is super
competitive. I don't know your answer regarding your
retirement but as for our district you would start as a 1st
year teacher with 0 yrs experience! (they only give credit
for CO teaching) Definitely contact the specific districts
for more info. I am not trying to steer you away, just
research and realize things are tight for right now. In a
couple of years maybe it will be different. I speak for
northern Co.
