I recently completed an Orton Gillingham training and am wondering if I can ask my new school to reimburse me for it. I had indicated that I...
Thanks, LMichele and BioAngel! I called the school and the lower salary was an error. The salary is what I was told when I was offered the...
I just got official word about my salary for the new salary at a new position I accepted in early June. It's $3,000 less than what the principal...
Thanks for including me, Leighbball! I'll be teaching 6th grade sped math in NY.
