I don't know where you are now but VA salaries for the education profession are very poor. That's why they recruit so heavily...most good educators have gone to other areas. A good friend of mine here in central Va was the head of the school guidance dept. for 8 years and just last year his salary hit 40K. Yikes... and the price of housing is high... The counties and cities have special programs starting in the area trying to make housing affordable for city workers such as policemen, firemen & teachers etc. because those folks can't afford to live in the towns they work in and are moving away. So, when you interview, I advise you to check the payscale and have discussions with local realtor. But hey, the weather is great and there are several Bills fans in the area and they don't black out the Bills on DirecTV here !!
