Avoid Salem. Find teachers in the state you can talk to. They know the good and bad towns. Again, avoid Salem. Their schools are always lower tier, and they don't pay teachers well at all. They are insanely admin heavy and all the money goes there. They pay a ton for people to do something. Nobody knows.

Let me put it this way, the soon to be former mayor, sent her kids out of town to private school.

In Salem the mayor is the head of the school board and literally writes the agenda.

Yeah.
