School SLP opening in Framingham

[Anna Mazaheri]

Hi Everyone,

 

If anyone is still looking for a CF job, framingham public schools has an opening (actually, I think she said two?) for their preschool starting January due to maternity leave(s).  As of early this week, I know the position was still available because I had an interview scheduled for yesterday.  I cancelled my interview because I accepted an offer from Canton public schools.

 

Here is the contact info:

Some advice: 

I think some schools may have more room to negotiate when hiring for a maternity leave as you are actually a "long-term substitute".  I was offered MA+90 if I was willing to sign a contract on the spot (I took it).  I have all the benefits except the retirement plan.  However, If they want me to stay, I will be eligible for this in September and will stay on the MA+90 track.

 

This was offered to me after I stated that their union contract was significantly lower (about $5000) than other communities close to them, such as Needham.  I brought printouts of these contracts.  I was planning to negotiate for MA+30, so I had all my transcripts with me (two Masters).  It was after stating that although I was interested, I had another interview to got to, that they offered me the MA+90 if I was willing to sign a contract right away.

 

I hope this is helpful to someone.  Good Luck!
