Subject: Moving In and Out
Dear Head-netters,
Thank you to the 21 of you who responded to my request for information about
shipping in and shipping out faculty. There are probably no big surprises in
this information, however some interesting approaches for us to consider here.
All schools helped in some way shipping teachers in and out. The amount of
shipping usually depends on whether the teacher is single or has a family.
Six of the schools based this amount on weight; the rest had set currency
amounts (usually $US). Obviously if an apartment or housing was fully
furnished, shipment amounts were less. In most cases the shipping amount out
was higher than coming in but not all the time.
Several schools included moving expenses, air flight and relocation money in
one amount given to the teacher to use as she/he sees fit. One school gives
reimbursements up to a set amount and the teacher takes care of moving in
and must have receipts for expenses. In several, if the teacher did not ship
in the amount allowed, he/she could use the extra money as wished.
A school mentioned that they would ship out to the home of record listed in
the contract or to a place that does not cost more than it would cost to
ship to the home of record.
Thanks again for your help on this one. Kindest regards,
Julie Wagner, Acting Head of School
