Jul 5, 2015

I know there is a law on the books at the state level that says a teacher may enroll his child where he teaches but I cannot find it in a search. Anybody know the law name or have link? Thanks

by nnon

Sep 12, 2015

I'M really thinking about moving to from my terrible state of North Carolina to Ga. For some of you who don't know NC is ranked dead last as far as teacher salary and being mistreated. I done my research on Georgia and have heard good things about the school districts in some areas. Oh I teach in CMS the largest school district in the state.

by kelly nichols

Aug 26, 2015

I am an out-of-state teacher who has just started teaching at a Cherokee County middle school. Our principal informed us that we are allowed a total of 4 sick leave/personal leave days for the entire school year. The staff was told that even with a doctor's note teachers would be put on an action plan after 5 absences and possibly be dismissed if t...See More

Samantha That sounds...wrong. I have taught in two counties in the metro area and in each we accrued 1.5 days per month (I think) for a total of ten or so per year. Of those we could use three for announced personal days and the others were for unexpected illness. If someone went beyond the total number of days they were simply not paid for the time missed....See More

situation?

The science teachers (Earth, Life and Physical) in my

middle school were told that we would all need to teach

health classes this year, since P.E. teachers couldn't

schedule it into their time. Health classes are, of

course, a...See More

Is this legal?

by historyguy

Aug 19, 2015

so I work at an alternative school. we have 7 periods, but our students leave at 2:38 rather than 3:18 like the other schools.

We do not have a planning period, but from 2:30-3:30 is considered planning to the principal. During that time, however, we have daily meetings so no planning is done.

Also, because the school is so small,...See More

retired Read your contract. Most have a "and other duties as deemed necessary" (or similar wording) clause in them they will say covers all you mention.

AJ Ga is right to work state but belonging to a union gives you access to an attorney. Call him and find out your rights.

state class size limit

by second grade teacher

Aug 16, 2015

What is the state class size limit for second grade in Georgia? I work in a county that has a waiver, so I would like to know if there is also a cap for the waiver as well. Thanks for any information.
