I dont know where you're getting your information, but one poster lives in Spring Hill, thats just as urbanized if not more so than Wichita is as KC is encapsulating it. Way too many people in NE ks for me.


I got my info from friends and family that lived there. Yes I do live in Spring Hill but it is no where close to being encapsulated by KC as you put it. As a matter of fact it's impossible for it to be encapsulated by KC! I grew up on a farm about 2 hours NW of Wichita so I prefer to live in an rural area, however with my job here I chose to live in an area that was as rural as I could find and not have to drive 30 or more miles one way to work. I personally wouldn't live "in" a big city due to the numerous things that have already been stated about them!

I'll throw up the yield flag.. Wasnt trying to start a fight, but Ive been to spring hill, one of my buddies lives there. Its neat how its away from Overland park, but to me that place isnt rural at all, you're just living in the KC metroplex. You drive 10 mins and you can be in the middle of OP. Your population density is pretty high in that area...guess my definition and yours are rather different. I thought the downtown area was rather neat though



Anyways, to the original poster, wouldnt the idea of leaving Minnesota's winters be enough to encourage a move anywhere south...

I dont know how you guys put up with winter as long as it lasts up there.

Yeah, it was cold, windy, and snowy again today. It's really starting to drag on this year.

If it wasn't for family, I'd have been gone a long time ago.

Most school districts are listing jobs on their own websites as well. Jim hit the nail on the head, teaching jobs are going to be tough, especially for elementary. Of course the further west you are willing to go the better the odds of getting a job. I would suggest finding an area, see what the districts are, check their websites and do a lot of sending resumes.

The next two years are going to be tough on teachers (not like the last 3 haven't been), but it isn't getting better anytime soon I'm afraid. One last thought: If you find an area she could substitute teach until something permanent opens up. That has helped many a teacher get his/her foot in the door.
