Re: Teaching Opportunities in Maine?

I have spent the last four years in northern NH, but the
teaching situation is lamentable. Are there opportunities in
Maine for ESL teachers? Know Maine well and would prefer to
live there, especially near the coast. Who wouldn't right?
Any leads and advice would be greatly appreciated.
