District School Board of Niagara Salaries

If you could do it again, would you still become a teacher in today’s climate not just Covid but the whole attack economically and socially. If you yes , Would you choose teach the same thing that you teach now? If No what would you do for a living?

Just curious, have any of your districts given out employee bonuses from Covid 19 School Relief Funds?

I'm all for accelerated teacher internships... that's how I initially started. In the first Bilingual/ Spanish program- USC and LAUSD. Had to have a BA and ability to speak Spanish. They didn't accept HS graduates, veteran or not! Standards not lowered! I had to take entrance exams, state tests, and take out loans! District reneged on hiring us, newly licensed at higher salary, expanded the program and hired the new cheaper interns! Wipe-out credentialed teacher loans and increase our pay!

Okay fishbowl I have a conundrum. I received a job in a new state that blows my current job out of the water. 10K raise and the salary table is much more appealing. Will be making 75K at 30 years old compared to about 62K at my current district (im 25 now). I think I’m having cold feet or something but upon receiving the “you’re hired” phone call I felt not one bit of excitement and actually found myself wishing that they said “sorry you didn’t make the cut”. Why do I feel this way? Help!
