What will happen if I break a teaching contract here in Virginia? The administration said that I won't go to jail and they won't sue me, but there are several other legalities that the superintendent will hold me to for breech of contract, possibly charging me for the sub they have to pay until they find a replacement. What can they do to me? I work 12 hours+ daily, commute an hour both ways to work, spend about 5 hours each Saturday grading papers, and 4-5 hours Sunday creating interactive lessons because the principal says that we are not allowed to use the textbook and will be reprimanded if we are caught using worksheets. I need counseling, but have not had time to go to the doctor. When I leave to go to work my children are sleeping and when I get home they are sleeping. The other day I almost fell out of my chair at my desk after school because of chest pains. I am only 32 years old, should this be happening? I am so nervous about resigning, but my life is falling apart. They say if I leave there will be so many disappointed parents and students, but what about my family? I am going to lose mine trying to be a teacher. Please help.

I write with an exciting extra-curricular opportunity for students who are interested in government, planning, transportation, and policy, and would ask that you circulate the attached information about this opportunity accordingly.
The Community Leadership Institute (CLI) on transportation planning issues is a tremendous learning opportunity for students. During this Saturday workshop, students will learn how, where, and when transportation planning decisions are made in the Washington region. Through a variety of case studies and group activities, students will also learn how to connect the interests of their communities with the planning issues facing the entire Washington region. The curriculum covers concepts such as linking transportation with land-use, effective advocacy, and the role of government in planning. CLI also provides real-world context for linking theory to practice, and enables students to grasp the impact that they can have on their communities.
The CLI is hosted by the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that is charged with coordinating transportation planning and funding for the Metropolitan Washington Region. The TPB is committed to investing in the knowledge of leaders across the region, and is comprised of representatives of local governments, state transportation agencies, state and DC legislatures, and WMATA. Two former TPB Chairs, Peter Shapiro and Kathy Porter, will facilitate the CLI, bringing their skills in leadership development and their wealth of experience as former elected officials.
The CLI is free to accepted participants, and meals will be included as part of the program. Interested candidates may apply by submitting an application (available at [link removed].
Additional information, including an application, may be found by visiting the Transportation Planning Board’s CLI website at [link removed].
Thanks very much for your consideration!

Looking for jobs for my wife and I. We are looking to relocate to Virginia. She is K-12 music and I am elementary certified. Do not need to be in the same district, but close enough together to be reasonable would be great! Thanks!

I am planning a field trip for our high school students (all 25 of them) and need help planning for meals while we are on the national mall. Does anyone know the area and can tell me if there any fast food places near that we can walk/take metro to that we can buy lunch at so we won't have to pay outrageous prices at the museums? Thanks,
