[SIZE=3]I am looking for some advice about moving to Las Vegas. I am a school teacher. My first questions is: How are teaching jobs in Vegas? Are there teacher lay offs? Second: which area should I be looking at to find a rental house in a good area of Las Vegas/Henderson area? Any advice that you all could give would be great. This is a scary process. Thanks[/SIZE]

CCSD (the only school district in the valley) is laying off 2500-3500 people, mostly teachers and is currently on an austerity budget....

I'd either change your profession to something in the hospitality/tourism/customer service business (you might have better luck at gaining employment) or move to a city with a more robust, well funded school district than Las Vegas has right now.

Whatever you choose, best of luck to you!

Good morning,

I am helping a private school to find a creative history teacher for middle school. These kids are very spot on, smart and fun to work with.

Let me know what kind of school and grade you are looking for.

Also, houses are easy to find in Vegas. Green Valley/Henderson is one of my favorite area (been here since 2001).

Looking forward to hearing from you

Eh, if you were legit and decided to place a teacher for a school based on a single CD post from a first time poster (that lists zero qualifications) then perhaps teacher placement is NOT the right role for you. Being that this is your first post I'm calling BS anyway, so no harm in pretending I guess.

I am a special education teacher. I can teach K-12. Right now I am at the high school level teaching special education as well as co-teaching world geograph and government.

Nevada is not reciprocal with Alaska, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin or any U.S. Territory except Guam for any teaching area other than special education, when allowed per regulation. Additionally, we are not reciprocal with any state for those areas which fall under Specialized Education Personnel or for endorsements that require a base license as a prerequisite for issuance.

LIFO does not "protect" anyone's job. It is simply a way to prevent management from firing teachers that reach the top of the pay scale to help balance budgets.
The only ones saying LIFO has to go are the right wing nutcases who think the financial crisis is a great excuse to engage in some easy union busting. They think because they cite a bunch of BS "studies" they can claim that senior teachers are all burned out and that new teachers are the second coming of the messiah.
And what exactly have WE been telling them about those EVIL teachers??

We all know what the "oldest profession" is....Teaching is the second oldest profession. In CCSD, there is much more of a need for the oldest, and much less of a need for the second oldest......

CCSD is a total nightmare. Do yourself a favor and go to Phoenix, at least you will have a choice of which crappy school district to work in. Stick to something more productive like pizza delivery or marijuana cultivation--something that is appreciated and rewarding. Don't go where you are unwanted. You have to be a female with a Fred Flintstone haircut, and a New Yawk accent, just to get an interview.
