I am heading to Okinawa and due to limited housing and remodeling, I am not being offered on base housing. But, it varies by location.
haha
My understanding is also that it varies quite a bit. Most locations it seems have teachers leaving off base and provide LQA. Some give you the choice and a few require you to be on base. And it changes over the years even at one location as active numbers go up/down and housing is renovated or not.

Opinions vary a bit on this subject. Basically, it seems vary rare that people are rejected once the tentative offer has gone out. How rare? Tough to say. I have personally never heard of any but then again when would someone not in HR or admin hear about it? I don't recall reading about any on this board. There may have been one referenced on the ...See More

We can get them but I still have time. And the kids are debating if they are up for the mass killing (it's against my views but I do think this and the animal behavior labs are important for lab techniques)

I was in the system for about a month as well. I had internal preference because I was hired from stateside.

So I will be in the same boat with a 20 year old who isn't going to school full time. Just part time. The lqa would then reduce when she turns 21 right? Are you recommending locate a rental that would work with the lower LQA so I wouldn't end up out of pocket paying anything?
haha
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Even with just the "with family" (teacher plus at least one dependent) rate you would be just fine in most locations. We have the "2-3 Dependent" rate and even with a large (by Japanese standards) house off base we would still be fine with the lower rate.

Sorry. Wrong thread. :S

Basically, all of your rent and required utilities should be covered by your LQA anywhere in Japan unless you feel the need to be in a huge or otherwise over-the-top extravagant house. That would cover power, gas, water and garbage.

To those of you who have gotten recent offers (congratulations!). Maybe this is obvious, but does that mean you will be starting mid-year for this 17-18 school year? Does anyone have any insight as to how common that is? I"ve also read/heard from others that sometimes the process (between offer and arrival on base) is many months, w...See More

Thanks so much haha. Also, would you have any insights into the applicant pool? I'm guessing people are being pulled from last year's pool? Hypothetically, if I submitted my application today and there was opening that would be a good match, would there be any way I could be considered for it (assuming there wasn't some else that would be of course...See More
haha
No problem. Generally they would only look at applications that were in the system/renewed in April (or whenever the renewal date is for that year) for the following school year. In some cases (like with hard to fill positions) they would look beyond that group and check out anyone in the system with those certs.
Generally you will still s...See More

All teachers are considered seasonal since we do not work year round and we get our summers off (as opposed to admin, office workers etc). It's a good thing. :D

Just throwing some ideas out, I am not sure they will work with your situation. You might be eligible for unemployment benefits from your state at least for that period from when you had expected to actually quit. They did let you go. Could you sign up to sub in your district? The process might be quick. In our county if you transfer from teaching ...See More
