Nice! (Assuming you want one of these positions?)

I'm not sure. I really like what I'm doing now and my current administrator is very hands-off. A district job is mo money and they do have kids that need my skill set but I'd be jumping into a bit of an unknown administratively and it is a troubled district so who knows what kinds of shake-ups are coming... so bottom line, I don't know. I need to find out what the retirement implications would be as well.

Heads, you're part of an earnest attempt at improving the district system.
Tails, you're the sacrificial lamb to protect cronies when the shit hits the fan.

It sounded before like you don't have much job security where you are now.
Mo money is nice.
Will the district let you wear a cape?

Tails, you're the sacrificial lamb to protect cronies when the shit hits the fan. Last hired first fired.

It sounded before like you don't have much job security where you are now. I smell a strike in the district's future as well. Right now, I'm part of the only highly functional classroom team in the department, so I have more security than most. Our "business model is sketchy though.
Mo money is nice. Not being bothered by administrators is nice as well. Right now I have that but it could change.
Will the district let you wear a cape? You're thinking of the English Department.
