Hello! So, my school just released contracts for next year, but I'm applying for other jobs. Should I sign the contract for next year (which starts on August 13th) and then withdraw if I get a new job, or should I wait to hear back from a job and take my chances? I hate being rushed. lol

They say a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. I would probably lean more towards ensuring you have a job next year if you have no idea what will happen with the opportunities you are seeking right now. Easier to withdraw later then try to find a spot if everything is already filled up.

Read your Master contract and see what kind of penalties there are if you choose to back out of the contract. Talk with your union field staff and ask their thoughts and the legalities.

I'd air on the side of caution and sign your contract for next year, if nothing else pans out it's good to make sure that you have a job to fall back on. Just make sure that you look into how to withdraw your contract and make sure that there isn't any specific rules that could make it difficult.

I would read through your contract and see what the penalties would be if you sign then resign. In my district you have to continue to work for 30 days after you’ve left. We start right after Labor Day so if you get a job in July it doesn’t really impact you but if you get a job at the end of August, you need to start the year until it’s been the full 30 days. I have no idea what happens if you decide to leave anyways but I’ve seen on here in other states that if you break that agreement they might try to suspend your teaching license. Just make sure you read everything carefully and have documents to reference if needed!

Think of your own interests first. Sign the contract, and if something else comes along, deal with it at that point. You do not want to be in the position of refusing the contract and then if you don't find something you're really in a jam.

If you sign your contract with your school district, they may be able to hold your teaching license through the end of the school year that you signed your contract for

Our district makes you pay to get out of your signed contract.

I signed my renewal contract, even though I am in pursuit of another job.

Hopefully that doesn’t backfire on you

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.
