Married educators?
I know this isn’t the old days but does anyone know if there are rules about two teachers who are married to each other working in the same building? Or teacher married to the assistant principal in the same building. I wouldn’t think it would matter as long as the one in the asst. principal position didn’t have to evaluation the spouse for things like contract renewal. Any idea where I can find this stuff out?

The answer varies from district to district. It is the school district itself that generally sets the rules for relationships in the work environment.
USUALLY if the two involved are both at the same level- ie both teachers, and neither is involved in supervising the other, most districts will let it go.
However- in a relationship where one party is in a supervisory position over another– even if the supervisor waives his right to evaluate the other– it is frowned on.
Regardless of how baseless the accusations might be– there will always be those who think that the person involved with the supervisor is getting special privileges. This makes for all parties involved being uncomfortable.

Though it varies from district to district, the normal policy is that if the two educators are on the same level in the building’s hierarchy, than it is fine. However, if one educator is in a higher position than the other, it is unacceptable. My husband and I are both teachers, and have both worked in the same school together without a problem. As classroom teachers, we were both on the same level. However, when a colleague of mine was married to someone who later on became principal, she had to transfer out of the school, and move to another school in the district.
If you are unsure of the policy in your area, contact the teacher’s union or the district office for more information.
