      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",
      "a": "Many schools offer staff bus service on their main routes, either free or at a nominal fee. Availability depends on whether your home is near a school route — confirm with HR."

      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this Cook — D.A.V. Public School listing is usually welcome."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is accommodation provided?",

      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at D.A.V. Public School?",
