You get credit for previous time spent as a teacher on the pay scale. It wouldn’t be a pay cut in any way. Reis may not take Mason because he lives in Loveland and his kids are in school there. I’m not sure about Kerr. Regardless, still think the hire is CJ Fleming.The issue would be giving them enough years to make it worth it. Mason's scale may make it close, but they'd probably both have to take pay cuts.
