      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Silverdale High School & Jr. College?",

      "q": "How much experience do I need for this Head of School role?",
      "a": "Refer to the experience range posted on this page. If you're close to the minimum, apply with a strong demo lesson plan or portfolio — many schools flex by ±1 year for the right candidate."

    {
      "q": "Is background verification done before joining?",
      "a": "Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready."

    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this Head of School role?",

Close with availability for a demo lesson and interview. Attach a one-page PDF resume — long text bodies get skimmed."
    },
