In Maryland, you have to formally resign or announce your intention to resign and transfer from your post by a certain date or you are locked out of getting a job in any other county the next year. This prevents counties from stealing teachers right before the school year starts.

I do like the idea of counties being allowed to supplement funding. The prospect of more teacher friendly practices and school cultures would also be another big draw over pay, so pay alone won't discourage teachers from being recruited.
