by Sandoval

May 19, 2013

TFA people get the SAME salary as real, NV certified, qualified teachers.

anon You coulda fooled me on the sped K-5. I worked with students in grades 1-3 in resource, and these students had IEPs, and there are also life skills courses which start out in the elementary grades as well as classes with students with behavior issues.

If CCSD does background check, would they include credit score?

anon I know at Washoe, which like almost all school districts nowadays, asks for your SS number to login to its online application.

I suspect it is similar in CCSD.

no la You won't even be able to submit an online employment application without providing your SSN, and that's the only type of application CCSD accepts. This is the same pretty much throughout the US.

Jun 2, 2013

I am scheduled for three interviews for a math position at three different HS's next week. I am from Florida Miami and a formal attire is not expected during the interview due to the weather in Florida (very hot and humid in the summer).

What is the interviewing dress code in Las Vegas? Is a suite and tie expected during the interview, ev...See More

What are you talking about?

Jun 3, 2013

report post

no la There is, of course, no dress code for an interview. You could wear a speed-o. Remember you're not employed yet.

That said, I am of the opinion that you always want to dress to impress. There are Principals who will look down on you if you don't dress professionally.

I personally believe that a full suit wouldn't hurt. I'm going ...See More

by Extra legislative session at 4:30 am

Jun 4, 2013

I'm hearing (HOPE it's true!) that the two million dollars Sandoval wanted to gift to TFA has been delegated to the Millenium Scholarship instead.

If so, HURRAH! VICTORY!! Thank you, legislators who made this happen!

Why is NRPI Emailing me?

by Amanda Fulkerson needs to be FIRED.

Jun 4, 2013

Got another email today to my interact account from NRPI Victor Joecks telling us to trust CCSD and their Principals and quit the union. Joecks' wife is CCSD Propaganda Minister Amanda Fulkerson, with her 6-figure salary. She needs to do. This is not a violation of our emails? I don't want this jerk emailing me.
