Reply to comment by gmoor90 in Teaching in Plainfield? by gmoor90

Absolutely. Contact the Plainfield Police and ask about gangs and number of arrests in the school you're assigned to for a better idea of what's in store for you. I believe Scotch Plains might still have a vacancy in your area.... nearby, and much better district.

I’m currently teaching in memphis city schools. So I’m pretty used to the gang influence. Doesn’t make it any easier though.

Then go to East Orange or Newark... Both pay higher 😀

I applied to Newark. Didn’t hear back though. 🤷
