One teacher accepted a job at a middle school in mid July after being laid off and then transferred. After the Reduction in Force (being laid off), though, this teacher was of course looking for a job and not waiting around to see what happened in Fort Bend. However, when this teacher called the Principal inform her of her promotion, the principal responded, "You can’t leave! If I would have known you were looking for another job, I would not have hired you. You will never work for Ft. Bend again."
Fort Bend allows teachers to leave after the 45 day period before the start of school if they receive a promotion. Not to mention the fact that this teacher was first told that she no longer had a job in Fort Bend and then offered one in mid July. The principal then attempted to block this teacher's resignation in at Human Resources which was unsuccessful.
Essentially, the teacher
1) Was laid off in Spring 2010
2) Began looking for other jobs
3) was offered a job at a Fort Bend middle school in July
4) Accepted a promotion in another district
1) Was laid off in Spring 2010

I guess some people think that Fort Bend must be the only "district of choice".
