    PT Prayers -- job opportunity

    I feel silly asking for prayers for a job opprtunity but its very important to us around here.

    Hubby started yet another year at the same inner city school. For the 3rd year in a row, he's had a new principal and this one is only temporary until they can find a permanent principal. They also don't have any vice principals. Tells you a lot about the school disctrict! Sigh.... he's already realizing that he's not going to be able to handle another full year there. Already he's exhibiting incredible stress and his blood pressure shot WAY high (as of August his BP was slightly elevated but nothing to worry about, as of last week, he's a walking heart attack At least he's taking his BP pills this year!)

    In last week's Sunday paper there was an ad for a Gifted teacher at a school district about half an hour away. They pay $10,000 a year more than he's currently getting paid, he won't have the inner city stress, and he'd have gifted students instead of students who refuse to work in class.

    All resumes were to be submitted by yesterday. I got confirmation from the post office that his was received friday. We really need PT prayers that he at least gets an interview. Just an interview... its would be awesome if he got the job but right now I don't want to get my hopes up.... I'm just asking he be interviewed!

    I keep tensing every time the phone rings hoping it would be the school calling to set up an interview. He needs this for his emotional and physical health. We need the additional income (and the better health insurance!)

    Please, anyone who has a minute to send a prayer for him (us). I've seen how well they work in the past. I was afraid to start this thread for fear I'd jinx him but decided PT prayers are strong~!

    Thanks guys ((((hugs))))

    Good thoughts and prayers that he not only gets interviewed but gets the job and can start right away before his health really becomes an issue. Good luck.

    Will keep good thoughts.
    This position new job position for the present school year?

    If your hubby is under contract with inner city school this year he is bound to that contract for the remaining year (at least that's the way it is here in KY for teachers).

    This position is for this year, and he'd be able to start fairly soon. He has to give 60 days notice, which he could, and most of that will be vacation and personal days. He has about 30 personal/vacation days saved up so he could start at the new school by Halloween and call in sick every day at his current school until the 60 days is up. Teachers do this a lot around here.

    If I got a job tomorrow, I could leave...the contract is basically only for pay, nothing binding.

    WOW, I'm surprised PA doesnt have stricter rules for teachers on contracts. Only ones here in KY that can leave whenever, is non-contractual (aides, janitors, bus drivers, cafeteria workers).
