Do the leave replacement teachers get paid close to the same salary as the regular teachers? Or do the leave replacement teachers get paid like substitutes?

ron/nj I find it hard to believe that they won't release you and simply hire someone. Honesty is the way to go, tell the new job and see what they say. The board where you signed could make things very difficult for you in regards to license. Try talking to them again being overly nice but firm. Good luck and post update.

Thinking of quitting w/o tenure

by fireslost

Oct 28, 2015

I am a forth year teacher who missed the three year tenure by a month based on my DOH. I am no longer enjoying teaching based on District and bureaucracy. If I resign my position what happens to my license and my pension?

ron/nj Your license is fine and has nothing to do with resigning unless you don't give the required notice. If you leave earlier, that's a different story. If you never teach again, you might be able to get monies back paid in, not sure on that point. Talk to the union regarding the pension. Good luck.

If your contract expires in NJ, do you still get a step increase if a new contract has not been negotiated?

ron/nj No, you will be paid according to the expired one. When the contract is signed, you should get the retroactive raise.
