Re: Search A. fee inconsistencies and associate choice

Does anyone know if the US$ 225 fee for Search Associates needs to be paid by both partners in a teaching couple ($450 total per couple)? Is there a discount for a teaching couple? I didn't see it on the S.A. FAQs

Will 3 schools in 3 years or 1 year gap hurt job prospects?

My wife and I are a teaching couple looking to go overseas next year. My wife was recently told that she will be laid off at the end of the year due to school downsizing. The same situation happened at her previous school. Therefore, she will be looking for another job next year before we go abroad, meaning that she will have taught at 3 schools in the last 3 years when we apply. She is also considering staying home with our 2 children.

Will either of the above scenarios hurt our chances of being a competitive teaching couple?

Thanks for the advice.
