Not age- just years of experience. Many districts like to hire less experienced staff who are “cheaper” over paying the expected salaries of those who have lots of experience pr multiple degrees. It makes it difficult to change school districts for sure.

Hi thanks for your reply , appreciated and yes I agree ☺️

I was kicked out due to age and sudden perimenopausal issues. Of course, the administrators wanted younger teachers.

When I looked at their online school group picture this year, 95% of the original teachers left! 🙄 Good Luck handling those kids!
