Contract?

As a school nurse, do you tipically sign a 1-year contract when accepting a position, committing to staying in the position for the entire school year? What happens if you need to quit halfway through the school year?

    I think it depends on your District. I have a 1 year contact that we are to sign every year. There's nothing in there that says we can't resign mid-year, but I'm assuming I would have to give proper notice of at least 2 weeks.

    My school district is like kenderella’s. We are given a contract for a year and then in May or June, given another one for the following year. In my district, 2 new school nurses resigned this year. They both started in September and one left in February and the other left this month. One went back into the hospital and the other went to a school nurse job closer to her home. No one stopped them due to a “contract”.

    In our district a teacher who had signed for next year and then resigned, paid $1500 to the district.

    I sign a year to year contract but there is no penalty should I leave earlier.

    I actually have a two-year contract. They have an option of offering a one-year or two- year contract. We have had a couple of nurses leave mid-way through the year these last couple of years. They did not have any penalties for leaving during their contract. It just depends on the district.

    In my district there's no penalty, per say, for not fulfilling a contract; the district might not hire you back if you re-applied in the future. In Texas, it's supposed to be that a public school district doesn't hire a teacher who hasn't fulfilled or been released from a prior contract but I've seen this to be selectively enforced.
