Princeton Preschool Needs a Teacher!

by Lori Musa

Jun 20, 2013

Hello All,

I'm a preschool director, and I'm looking for a certified preschool teacher ASAP. We have a small preschool in Princeton; it's the 2 y.o. room; 12 children with one assistant; hours are 7:30/8:00 am - 2:00 pm.

Anyone interested?

Thanks! Lori lori.[email removed]

Para, One-on-one

OK, have been offered a parapro position, one-on-one w/ 10-year old MOID. Toilet help is involved, if needed. However, the bathroom is NOT in the classroom. I'm male. I need the job, but should I take it?

by Moving out of NJ

Jul 5, 2013

Hi,

How hard is it to get an expection to the NJ First law requiring state employees to live in NJ? I.E., Can I keep my NJ teaching job if I move out of state? It says exceptions are granted for “critical need or hardship.” Are any high school teachers considered critical need? Will my administration go to bat for me? What acceptable r...See More

Should I have resigned?

by JD

Jul 24, 2013

Hello, I have been teaching for two years. Basically two out of three classes were out of control whenever the support person was absent. The assistant principal recommended I be terminated. I'm having regrets now that I resigned because I can't find another job. Should I fought my dismissal? Another teacher told me no one ever gets fired because t...See More

anon It wouldn't have hurt you to have fought it if you could have (assuming you had a continuing contract). If you didn't have one, misnamed "tenure," then there is nothing you could have done.

People get fired from teaching all the time, or, even more common, take a resignation in lieu of a dismissal, which is always a mistake. Basically it ...See More

Want to leave contract early... can I?

by Janelle

Jul 24, 2013

I'n May I received a contract to return to my current district. I was supposed to return a signed copy by the end of May. Because I was actively looking for another job I never submitted a signed copy and my district hasn't followed up with me to return a signed copy. I just got a job offer in another district. Will my district hold me to 60 days i...See More

ron/nj highly unlikely as there are so many teachers available.

Jul 25, 2013

ron/nj I forgot to add... the 60 day notice is moot as there wasn't anything signed.

Jul 25, 2013

how to give notice, to principal or to superintendent?

by see ya!

Jul 31, 2013

My husband got a job out of state. We are closing on our house in early September. 2 questions:

Am I still held to the 60 day notice? I never got a contract for 2013-2014 school year....

Also, do I have to give notice to the superintendent to make it official?

Thanks.

ron/nj no contract, don't give it a second thought. I would give formal notice to the supt. and cc the prin as professional courtesy.

Net Monthly Earnings

by Steve

Aug 14, 2013

I'm having a difficult time getting any reliable numbers and would appreciate some responses from established teachers.

For a newly hired teacher making $53,600 a year (MA step 1), on average, how much of the $4466.66 monthly salary will be left after tax, health coverage (single with no kids), pension contributions, etc.?

I wou...See More

Penalties for not staying 60 days? Loopholes?

by covering my butt

Aug 16, 2013

I was told that there are certain situations in which a teacher is not held to the 60 day rule. Are there loopholes? What's the worst that can happen if I don't stay 60 days? Can they take my license?

ron/nj nothing will happen, there are a bunch waiting in line to fill your slot.

Conflict of Interest

by Anne

Aug 18, 2013

So get this....

The daughter of our school's union president lands herself a teaching job, the same year as the union president negotiates a new contract with the Board of Ed.

If anyone is familiar with laws regarding this, please respond!

by Blsh81

Aug 19, 2013

Can my high school hold me to 60 days if I take a job teaching at a community college?? My certificate and license don't matter there..

ron/nj I have never heard of this being done as there are so many people ready to step in. Don't give it a second thought.
