is my wife of a little over 10 years now, master's in music education, accomplished violinist/violist/pianist, lifetime certification in Missouri public schools to teach K-12 vocal, instrumental/strings; also certified in Ohio and Utah public schools; was offered two part-time jobs teaching elementary music, choir, and strings. The two part-time jobs equate to something like 0.81 of a regular full-time position.
No benefits.
It's the first teaching gig she's been offered or had since 2005. In the meantime, she's been an executive recruiter, worked in a temp staffing agency, and most recently, worked as a part-time church secretary for $10 an hour.
She starts, assuming the school board approves the job offer, in mid-August.
We are grateful.

Sounds like good news, Eupher, your military retiree benefits are as good as what most schools offer their full-timers anyway.

Yes, it is good news.
We qualify for Tricare Standard only in this neck of the woods - not Tricare Prime. Our health benefits come through my employment, and we tap Tricare Standard for the rest when it's necessary.
We are truly grateful. And we hope she can hold this position, but it's dicey. Music and the arts are the first things that get cut when public schools start having problems paying their administrators and hangers-on some of the healthy salaries that they enjoy.
