I am in my 4th year teaching, 1st year at a new school. I’ve recently had a job opportunity that is incredible for me and my husband as we are wanting to start our family soon.. hybrid, pay raise, flexible PTO. It’s too good of an offer to pass on (since I might not get something like this again). I’m in the middle of my contract in TX and am worried about having to tell my admin I’m resigning at the end of the semester & not finishing out the school year.

It is consuming my mind how they’ll react. I know they’ll be disappointed (honestly pretty pissed)— but I just can’t shake the feeling of I don’t want to put them in a bind. I feel like an anomaly, resigning mid year. Any tips/advice would be much appreciated!!
