Thanks, 8-teacher, another important question.

   This is a school district, not a high school.

    I have another question. My PhD is in education. I have used up my 12-month OPT. Can the old university file an OPT extension under such circumstances? Does a new I-20 mean that I need to enroll in one program?

   When you say 'always talk to the school after you get H1 filing receipt', does you mean this hiring institution?

   Thanks a million
