Sorry Bulldog! I've passed through these wonderful places, but I don't have
the scoop on them. In spite of what you've said about these schools and
surroundings, how is the job situation/ Also, since UV is in Albemarle, how
is the competition? I am a male with 13 years of experience, mostly in the
elementary setting. I am currently in NoVA, but I sincerely want to go to a
quieter, more calm and friendly place. Thanks for all of your
contributions!
