After signing a contract, a special education teacher has submitted a resignation 3 weeks prior to the start of the school year. The teacher has been offered a position in another district, closer to his/her home that offers a better compensation package. Due to the teacher shortage in special education, there are no qualified appplicants available to fill the abandoned position.

Under these circumstances, should the teacher be released from his/her contract? If so, why? If not, why not? What is the recommended course of action? Please cite any applicable legal references.

Sorry, but if this is your homework assignment, which is what it feels like, we don't do other people's homework here. And if it's a real life situation that you are faced with, we still can't help you without reading both contracts. It's not up to us to say what someone else should do, particularly without knowing the details of the contracts.

If you are the teacher get with the Union. That's what union dues are for.

If you are an adminsitrator contact your District Attorney. That's what taxpayer pay for.
