What is the penalty for breaking a teaching contract?
I was in a car accident last spring and since then it's been a really stressful and anxiety filled experience driving and going to work is a far commute for me. I was debating whether or not to go back to this job for the current school year but after not getting any interviews for jobs closer to my house, i decided i better stick with my job. However, i can barely handle to drive. I'm so scared at every interesting, passing cars and semis. I am highly debating whether or not to break my teaching contract, which i turned in last week, because i cannot handle driving since my accident. What would the penalty be for breaking the contract, and would i ruin any chance of getting hired for another teaching job if i did this?
"every intersection" -my mistake!

talk to the people at your school and your school district. Without further information I's rather not venture an answer.

schools have been known to petition the state and have your credential "held" for the length of the contract - this means no job.
Districts have also been known to be understanding in extreme circumstances. Talk to HR - Im sure there is someone there who can help you. They would rather know now, than keep you on if you are going to have inconsistent attendance.

The school system *can* "hold" your certificate for a year, which would mean that you can't teach for a year. However, most systems don't do that. When you're sure what you want to do, talk to someone that you trust in your system.
