Teachers needed here!
By Debbie Ellis

Clip to ScrapBook   
Tricia:
Sorry things are tight in NC, but most of the rest of the country is begging for teachers. I live in Mississippi. There is a critical shortage of teachers here. Other states that pay more than my state are snapping
up our teachers who are willing to relocate. For instance, at a teacher recruitment day at my university last month, Texas school representatives were really getting the interest of our soon-to-be graduating seniors. Duncanville School District, in Duncanville, Texas, has a starting salary of $36,000, with a signing bonus of $5,000 for bi-lingual teachers and $3,000 bonus for special
education teachers. That's way over the average starting salary in Mississippi, which is around $24,000-$26,000. Hang in there, Tricia. If you're willing to relocate, there are a lot of states who desperately need you!
