It is absolutely worth it to contact your union rep. If you
have three years' worth of excellent reviews, there should be
no reason to non-renew your contract (unless the district has
announced RIF's [reduction in force] and you are getting
RIF'ed.) You haven't given enough details to get an accurate
answer here, and I don't think you CAN give enough details
here. Contacting your union rep is the easiest, and best,
solution for you.
The last thing you want is for a new district to think you
were non-renewed for justifiable reasons (late to work, poor
teacher, etc), when in fact you were non-renewed because the
school is whittling down staff members. Good luck.
