Spouse of Teacher

Posted on 5/15/09

My wife has been subbing for the last year at a district
she would love to work in. Unfortunately the job
possibilities there are small. She has some interviews
with other districts that would not be first choice. I
know this putting the cart miles before the horse, but
what are her options if she is offered a position in the
second choice district and then is offered a position in
the favorite district? Do you immediatley sign a contract
when you are offered a position or is there a grace period
moving closer to the start of the year? What if she has
signed the contract when another job is offerred but the
school year has not started?

In this climate I will admit that 2 offers is a long shot,
but am the worrying kind of spouse. I am also amazed at
how little of this nuts and bolts career basics are taught
while pursuing an education degree. They dont really
discuss the business side of the job at all.

Thanks for any advce
