    {
      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",

      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at St. Marys Residential Central School?",

      "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 Dean listing is usually welcome."

      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do I have to work weekends?",
      "a": "Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off. Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "St. Marys Residential Central School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."

    {
      "q": "What is the average Dean salary in Alappuzha?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Dean roles in Alappuzha. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base."
