I am a first year teacher in SC, but come here from another state w/7 years experience. In my previous state, you could terminate your contract with just cause without worry of having the certification revoked. I am wondering if it is the same here. I am in CCSD and I am looking into the possiblity of leaving my contract after the Christmas break. I have a baby girl (1yr) who is very ill and things are not looking good for her right now. I have missed several days of work already to care for her, more days in these few short months than in all my teaching years combined. My principal has been understanding, but her patience is wearing thin and my daughter's health is only getting worse. I am a specialist so I do not have a traditional classroom that is impacted. I am wondering if anyone has any idea about how districts, particularly CCSD, would react to me breaking the contract so that I may stay home and care for my sick child.

Sandra CCSD sucks! I worked for them a few years ago and broke my contract due to illness. If you are sick the contract can be broken (read the terms). I am now better in terms of my health and in a better district.
