      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, HOD Commerce pay in Thiruvallur rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."

      "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats. The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation."

      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
      "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly."

      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Velammal Vidhyashram, No:17?",
