Newbie to Ohio

Hi Everyone,

I am moving to the Mason, Ohio area relatively soon. I have
information from the Ohio Department of Education and are
working diligently to get my paperwork completed. I was an
elementary teacher here in Arizona for nearly 10 years. I
am also getting ready to file for legal separation from my
husband. Is there anything I should do now so that the
transition will be easier? I am seriously thinking of doing
my fingerprint clearance once I am in Mason. Does that
sound okay or should I try to do it in Arizona prior to
leaving the state? What is the teaching situation like in
Mason? I currently have a Standard Elementary Education,
two degrees (B.S. Elementary/Special Education) and a
Master's degree. I also possess a Structured English
Immersion as well as a Reading Specialist Endorsement. Can
anyone guess as to if I will need to take any tests or pick
up any courses? Please forgive me for not researching this
enough online, I am also trying to help my parents get
things ready for the move.

Any assistance would certainly be most appreciated.

Thanks. :)
