I have just received a contract for my new position and I am worried about one section. It was added under 'additional blah blah blah'. This is my 2nd year teaching, but my last contract was provisional, so i do not know if this wording is normal. Can you guys let me know? Thank you in advance!

"The term of this contract shall expire at the end of the 2010-11 school session. This contract shall not be construed as giving the employee any right or interest in being employed for the following school session. Should the employee desire employment for the following school session, he or she must apply for employment just as any new applicant."

**I know that teachers basically have year-to-year contracts but the verbiage in this worries me...
PWCS teacher That was never part of my contract when I was a probationary teacher. Check with your principal or HR as to whether you actually have to reapply for your job each year and if that forever or only for a limited time.
