I’ve been a science teacher at a private high school in queens for 3 years (2025-2026 school year is my 3rd year).
I just accepted a job offer at a DOE public school for next year (2026-2027) . I haven’t received formal paper work and the principal said she’s working on entering my information into the system.
Is there a way my 3 years in private school can be applied to my salary so i’m not starting at the base salary. I have my masters degree MAT.
Any advice is appreciated / would love tips on what to expect in the onboarding process .
