VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A Facebook picture showing 421 teachers and staff retiring from Virginia Beach City Public Schools is leaving some parents with concerns. 'I think that most of these teachers are leaving early. They are leaving before they plan to actually retire," said Virginia Beach parent Hope Thourogood. The Virginia Beach Education Association President Kathleen Slinde said many of the teachers who left the division this year told her it's because of their pay. 'There are teachers who actually didn't retire, they resigned and the people who resigned are going to school systems nearby who have better pay.
