Li Laoshi Vegas is what you make of it....Lots of work and jobs, easy to get hired, easy to transfer. I had no problem with HR granting me credit for out of district prior experience.

by Charmaine

May 25, 2016

I have taught in Nevada for seven years, but took one year off from teaching last school year. If I am hired as a teacher this next school year, will I start as a probationary teacher again?

I am from the Philippines and one of the principals of CCSD recruited me back in 2015 with conditional offer of employment. I've been working on my online application since then. The HR personnel also helps me with my application. But I wonder, does the district or the state allow hiring of qualified foreign applicants? or I'm just wasting my time?...See More

Agree. Teachers are disrespected and have NO rights at all. The "unions" or "associations" are nothing more than subsidiaries of the school districts.

contract

by Carole

Apr 16, 2016

Can someone help me out here? If I sign a contract to teach in Vegas and then do not honor the contract ..... can I be prevented from teaching anywhere for two years? This is what I am hearing but it doesn't seem right.
