Most schools have what are called EDAs or EDCs (depends on the schools), and those are paid positions for clubs, coaching, teacher leadership positions, etc. I have been paid for holding a Tutoring Club, being a member, then co-chair of the Continuous School Improvement Team, co-chair of the Student Support Team, school webmaster, and a few other t...See More
haha
As Teach posted... Other paid positions would be Student Gov't, Class Sponsor, Homework Club, Nat'l Honor Society, Events Coordinator, etc.
Generally the only summer positions would be for SPED programs for the Moderate to Severe students and Virtual School.

Maybe it is because you're for a different country or because of your situation or because of you have a different person handling your process. I don't know. My firm offer did include the salary. My tentative offer only had step 1. That's only because I hadn't turned in my employment verification yet. I turned it in with all my tentative offer for...See More

The pay scale is the gross base pay. You actual take home pay would be base pay minus deductions (insurance, taxes, retirement, union dues, etc) plus housing allowance and post allowance (which are not taxed)..
haha
For example, on step 12, on 26 checks per year, gross pay is around $2500 minus around $900 deductions plus around $1200 LQA plus around $300 Post Allowance = around $3000 take home per paycheck (out of which you pay your rent/utilities).
Obviously there are a lot of variables (step, family size, type of insurance, number of exemptions cla...See More

There is not a general time frame. A year or two ago, they were required to update EVERYone's background check who had not had one in the past five years, so that caused a huge backlog and we had school counselors providing services in the open areas of the school where they could be observed when working with children, etc. However, most of this s...See More

It varies for everyone. Some took 3 weeks between tentative and firm. Mine took closer to 6 weeks. So, between 3 to 6 weeks would be a good guess.

As for what to put for the total number of exemptions, this depends on whether you would like to receive a tax refund, or only pay what you think you need to pay with the risk that you may need to pay extra later. If you do not own a home, or have many other ways of reducing your taxes, I would personally indicate no exemptions. I am married, and t...See More

Someone on a different post pointed out that our Dependents receive a blue official passport that looks on the outside exactly like the tourist one. However, on page 15 or so, there is a stamp stating that they are there for official reasons. Make sure they use the correct passport. When going to/from the duty station, they need to use the official...See More

Actually, everyone in the family should get the official maroon one, not a blue one.

It depends. If you are hired while still in the states you would in theory get .5 of all of the usual benefits. If not, you would be considered a local hire and would likely only get .5 post allowance. The .5 position is not likely to be increased to fulltime once the year starts but in theory a full time position could come open and you could be c...See More

Because you are going on your husband's orders, there would be no negatives to accepting a part-time position except that the union cannot support you as much, but the first two years, as a provisional employee, they cannot help either. If you were relying on the medical benefits, realizing that the government will only pay half of what they usuall...See More

Even if you live on base, you may not rate commissary/PX privileges. I know at Camp Lejeune (same district in DDESS), teachers do not rate commissary or PX. As a DDESS employee, you get a paycheck and you have access to medical, dental, life insurance, etc. just like any other teaching job. If you have children, they can only attend the base school...See More

I posted a longish response to another similar question. You may want to review it.

Congratulations!!!!!! I live off base. I was offered to live on base but the housing is not that desirable and the prices are more expensive than living off post. I don't have children. But your children will be allow allowed to attend school on base if you choose to live in housing on base The only downside is that you will not have access to the ...See More

We moved ourselves from the Charleston, SC, area to Fort Bragg, NC, then moved from Fort Bragg, NC, to Fort Knox, KY, ourselves. We downsized considerably when starting at Fort Bragg, but at the time, civilians could not live on post. Once they could, I got on a wait list for the housing I wanted, but we never got it. My children were high school-a...See More
