Re: Hello, Teachers in Hawaii!

I am a P.E. teacher from Chicago who recently received a M.A.
in Ed. Leadership. I am planning on relocating either to CA or
HI. I have finished all of the paperwork requirements. DO
they do phone interviews or do I have to fly out there? I am
planning on getting an endorsement to teach special education
out there. Anyone have any answers? Can I afford to live out
there on a teacher's salary?
