    I have been told that in Texas, if you back out of a signed contract, they
    can hold your teaching certificate. I don't know if that is true. I looked on
    the contract and it does seem that you can get out of it if you give 30 days
    notice. Contracts usually have to be signed in March/April and the job
    openings dont really open up until June/July. I have considered changing jobs
    just because of the 50 minute commute each way every day, but I love the job
    and the other art teacher I work with. I think I'll stay put.
    By the way, Texas is always hiring and art teachers are hard to find. This
    year they have started paying a bonus of $1,000 -2500. depending on your
    field. Starting salary for a new teacher in my area (EL Paso.......the edge
    of the known world) is about 26,000.
