I have signed a contract for the district that I have worked in for the past year.

Recently, a dream job closer to my family has opened up. This job was not even posted until after I had signed my contract.

At one point, I was told that I can break my contract with no consequences as late as August 1st. Does anyone know if this is true?
CT Teach Yes, I know a teacher who did just that. In fact, his name appeared in the faculty list of the school that he never taught in.

cam I believe that is the case; not to say that you cannot break a contract after August, but I believe that there may be a penalty that you will have to pay the later in the summer. It basically depends on the district or administration as to whether or not they would enforce the contract to the letter.
