Posted by lesley on 11/22/08 Ooops! I forgot to say that didn't I? I am a special education teacher credentialed for K-12, moderate disabilities. California has a high cost of living as well, so i am used to a certain amount, as I said i'll have to budget but will I have to struggle? i know it's a district thing, but on average, what does a classroom teacher make yearly? (lets say third year since I don't know how that transfers) Do you like your benefits? How high are taxes for common items, (food gas etc.) Are there many districts within commuting distance of the general Gloucester area? Also I've heard there may be a problem finding rentals because many use them for tourists? These are pretty common problems for vacation areas. I guess I am just trying to gauge there against here. I live in a beautiful coastal town that has huge tourism during the summer so i know what to expect. I am just trying to figure if it is worse, better, or much the same there in the East. Does the area have a sense of community at all, or is it just a burb for Boston? I know I have alot to ask!, but really just want to hear anything anyone has to say.
