Hello my future fellow New Jerseyans! I am moving to NJ this summer (finally escaping the super conservative south), and I was just offered a teaching position with Plainfield Public Schools. I have until Monday to sign the contract.
Has anyone here ever taught for them or known somebody who has? Since I’m not from the area, I just felt it was wise to reach out and see if anybody has had any experiences with this district.
Also, I was curious about the contract itself. The wording was very different from any contract I’ve signed in the past. It was short (1 page) and offered no information in terms of benefits, pay schedule, duties, etc. It also described my salary as “prorated.” I found that strange, but thought it might just be how teacher contracts are done in New Jersey.
Any and all info/comments are greatly appreciated!
