I signed my contract for the 2014-15 school year in Clayton County, and then I was offered another job in Fulton County. How do I get out of my contract with Clayton? Will there be any negative marks against me?
I'm frustrated. I've never taught anywhere but in The Great State of Texas (please, unclench your jaw. I love Texas but I've lived in GA for close to 23 years and now want to move back...not meant to offend! :D) so this whole Out of State to getting certified is very confusing to me.

I love Texas but I've lived in GA for close to 23 years and now want to move back...not meant to offend! :D) so this whole Out of State to getting certified is very confusing to me.
Here's the break down, for anyone (please!!!!) willing to help explain this process because I can't get a human on the phone at GaDOL and registering on the web site gives me an error message and I can't get registered....sigh!
I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Education circa 1982. My major was Elementary Ed and minor is Special Ed.
My cerficate reads: Self-Contained Elementary Ed 1-8 LIFE Generic Special Ed PK-12 LIFE Early Childhood Handicapped PK-6 LIFE and Generalist EC-6 valid 6/2010 to 4/2016 (satisfies HQ and NCLB) ESL Supplemental valid 8/2010 to 4/2016 (same as above)
Since moving back to Texas in 2009, I substituted, worked as a para and now hold a SPED teaching position working with students with autism, very ABA, grades 5/6. As of this year I have 2 years experience in this classroom setting and will be teaching it again next school year, so that will satisfy my 3 years experience since returning to teaching. Prior to that, I hadn't taught since 1986.
I want to apply for a Georgia certification so that I can be more marketable when I am ready to move back to GA in 2015.
Am I able to apply for a Clear Renewable Certificate? Everything else appears to require that it be requested from an employing GA school system. I want to stay in Special Ed as that is where my heart is. It's all I've ever taught full time and I don't see myself working in GenEd.
Help? Anyone?
I’m a certified teacher in Texas and want to move to GA or TN to be closer to my grown children and eventually, grandbabies. :D I’ve never taught anywhere except Texas so I have no clue about how to get certified.

A few things I’ve noticed….the pay scales with pay bands are confusing. Anyone care to explain those pay bands? Here in Texas we just go by Bachelors or Masters and years experience. And the other thing I noticed is that I will be taking a HUGE pay cut to move east.
I love Chattanooga, TN but have never lived there, only visited. It seems to have a high crime rate. Anyone care to enlighten me about teaching in TN, expecially in the CHA area?
If not TN, then I am shooting for the North GA, North ATL metro area, say Smyrna and north up I75 but not east as in I85. I enjoy Woodstock, Canton, Alpharetta and so on…..any suggestions as to the districts and getting hired? I prefer SPED and have more experience with ABA and autism.
Well, I know this was a rather large post of questions but any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I am here posting this message for one reason and one reason only. Your retirement is at risk and you don't even realize it. You have plenty of options afforded to you for the utilization of your pension funds however the most effective option is the one least promoted.
Partial Lump-sum Option Payment or PLOP for short is the best option that you can exercise for your retirement years. I am aware that when you sit for your pre-retirement meetings this option is sold to you in a way that is designed to frighten you. I am also aware that some of your major concerns with PLOP is that it may reduce your lifetime income. With all of this negative propaganda against PLOP, I totally understand how you can be swayed to not going towards this program, however please allow me to explain to you the reasons why you absolutely must explore this option.
First, you will have the ability to receive as your first check a lump sum of money that can now become liquid in case of emergency such as a medical disaster or financial crisis. Your pension plan will not allow you an advance if an emergency arises as you know. Second, the funds can be placed in an account that offers the same protection as the pension plan and offers greater growth opportunities and offers an additional lifetime income feature that over time has the ability to rise in value. Finally, the pension plan has beneficiary features that allow one beneficiary to receive lifetime income however once that beneficiary passes away the funds return to the TRS and there is no additional beneficiary that can receive the funds.
With PLOP the funds that have been growing separate from the TRS pension can now be left as a legacy for future generations such as children and grand children and still provide the same guarantees afforded to you in your lifetime. I understand that you still may have questions about the program I would recommend that you get in touch with me for further details on how this program is the best thing that could have ever happened for your retirement. I can be reached at 6788255041 Mr. Edwards
Have a wonderful day
Hello all,
I currently live in another state and I have already received my GA certification. Will counties in GA typically consider someone with an out of state address?
