PG County Schools?

by Interested in PG

Jan 15, 2009

Are a lot of people applying to work in this school system? Is there anyone currently teaching here?

I am graduating in May and I am applying to the PG Teaching Fellows for the 2009-10 school yr and I know it is predominately urban area, I grew up in the DC metro area, so I know the demographic. I just wanted to hear from those who are already working in this school system.

What is the highest salary u heard of for 1st yr teacher? And what city and state (because San Francisco obviously pays more since it is so expensive to live there so $50,000 there is like $30,000 in El Centro).

JK They will bump your salary up a step and give you lots of "cool" stuff but in the end you will learn how they waste their money and do nothing good for their kids. Not worth the time, would not go back if you paid me...
