Hello everyone. I've moved a lot in my 7 years of teaching. Every time I do, they cut off my benefits at the summer and stop paying me. Isn't that wrong? We usually don't get our first paycheck until a month into the school year...don't they space our paychecks out for the year? So shouldn't I continue to get paychecks through the summer? I don't understand. We're getting ready to move again...

Thanks.

Elizasma Most teachers are 10-month employees. Our district allows 10 month employees to spread out their paychecks over 12 months (smaller check each month) if requested in writing. You need to find out the policy for your district.

As others have said, your paycheck would depend on whether you are being paid over 10 months or 12 months. If you opt for 12 months in our district, you'll get a p...See More
