Switch to elementary?

I had an interview yesterday at an elementary school in another district that's two miles from my house!

Y'all know I love the teenagers. Next year I will have 2600 of them and there's no relief any time soon (district is just now building the elementary campuses to hold all the new arrivals and it will be at least four years before a new high school shows up).

The elementary building is 30 years old and the clinic is small. The really great nurse left two years ago for district advancement; the Health Services director seems awesome and doesn't have the issues of playing fast and loose with the truth that bother me about my current boss. The had an interim nurse last year who was "a bad fit" (that's been said twice) and a replacement nurse that got sick. The principal seems darling and he wanted me to know that he wants everyone "to assume the positive" about their co-workers. I know some of the PTA moms since it's the same district my kid attends.

I'm swapping lower numbers for more screenings. I have some experience with summer campers grades 2 and up in fairly intense two-week sessions.

What else should I be considering? I am afraid my rose-colored glasses are only seeing the 750 kiddos and that two mile commute!

    Sorry you didn't get the job! Everything happens for a reason. The good news is you won't have to learn all new students, family and staff. You won't have to deal with lice, poop, snot, or bloody noses nearly as much. Grade school kids need help with EVERYTHING! And they whine a lot and their tummies always hurt, they like to cough in your face, are always needing their shoes ties, glasses fixed, a change of clothes, etc. Very needy. I hope I'm making you feel better! ;)
