Soo.....it has been a "no news is good news" so far.
Nothing on pacer, nothing in the mail.....just nothing.

less than 30 to go! I'm still broke as hell.....because I don't get paid in the summer months. I'm excited about my first paycheck on Friday! Rent and Cell Phone :/

No news is good news....hang in there....

You don't get paid during summer months?

Teachers often don't!

Although one of districts I've worked in offered a 12-month option where you could get 12 months of smaller checks instead of 10 months of larger ones.

Teachers really do get the short end of the stick hey. No wonder the good ones leave the industry or end up being burned out.

Well no news is good news. I understand being broke though.

You don't get paid during summer months?

Yes and no. I am a 10 month employee. I opted for the 12 month pay program where they take money out of my checks to cover the summer months. The problem with that is that you get it all at once sometime in June. The only problem with that is that it is very difficult to budget for 3 months on one lump sum of money. I did have a budget, but a few things came up.
