Many questions..relocating

[Thenry]

Why don't you look at some Realtor sites like CCBH Realtors >> Homes For Sale in Charlotte >> Real Estate Broker
You will see Area Information, and links for schools.
I am T. Henry an agent there.
Also re: Basements - since we have so much clay which doesn't drain well in the Charlotte Area, Basements are usually build on lots where there is a walk-out basement on the back side i.e. a slanted lot.
You can also go to the Chamber of Commerce Website: Charlotte Chamber
There is a section called Useful Links under the Area Information Tab on the main website. If you have any further questions you can call me by getting my info from the Agent Tab.
Monroe is getting ready to be totally renovated as a city. It lies about 30 min S. of Charlotte directly down Independence. There are also quick back routes to the South Charlotte Area called Ballantyne which has shopping, movies and tons of restaurants- very upscale.
Hope this helps!

--Year-round schools. Is this more common than not? Not real keen on this. We have a 9-yr old daughter, plus I teach, and having to go in the summer is a huge minus.

Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

Teaching license is relatively easy if you have taken the PRAXIS..
It is like $83....check with the districts you are interested in..they probably have staff who do it and can answer all the question.


Salary is state wide--

And I believe each county has a supplement that varies from county to county..

Not sure on year round, but some schools on year round schedule are out middle of June through Mid-July and have 2 weeks off at a time spread throughout the school year.
