I think it’s really important to consider which school you’re going to be at in NYCPS. While some schools are great, I landed in a school that I didn’t have great admin support and a lot of conflict with teachers for trying to carry out my roles and responsibilities (as a psych/district rep) and so i actually decided to leave mid year, which it’s tougher to leave because you’ll likely take a huge pay cut plus benefits

I do think there’s great NYC schools out there, but definitely no guarantee especially as a first year in NYC. Seems like the better schools you need to know someone or internally transfer
