so i’m on my third year teaching in public schools and my contract will end in august. i’ve been thinking about going home for six months to be with family and coming back with the spring intake next year (2027). in order to do that i would have to start applying in august (2026) before my contract technically ends. has anyone done that before/ is that allowed? i’ve never had any issues with my schools or my contract (in fact i know my schools love me) so im not worried about leaving with any bad blood but i wasn’t sure if there was any rules about how long after your contract you have to wait before reapplying. tia!!
