No reason or explanation for the decision to non-renew my contract. I was probationary status, first year in this district, and they legally don’t have to give me a reason for firing me. All of my observations by the principal were outstanding. He even offered me a recommendation letter- but I’m also forbidden from ever working in the district again. Never heard even a whisper of criticism. How will I make it till June?!?! Would you quit now or teach through the rest of the academic year? I swear the district manipulates teachers to stay using the emotions of “it’s not fair to leave the children mid year, they’re innocent.”
