I had the same situation when we moved to a new area. I had 8 years of public school experience and a Master's degree. I was told I was too expensive, but they would be glad to have me sub. I also was willing to work at the starting rate, but because of the teachers' unions, they were not allowed to pay me less. I ended up working in a clothing store until other opportunities came up. I don't have any suggestions for getting into a school district, unless you are willing to sub, prove to them that you are worth more money and wait for a permanent position to come along. Are you working in child care now? With your qualifications, you may be able to be a director where the pay is better than teaching in a center. But the hours are long for the pay that you get. I usually work 6 days a week to get everything done that I need to do in a week's time. Good luck in your search. Name: Email: Subject
