My husband took a year off from being in the education field to work in sales. He has missed it and is trying to get back into it. The area that we live in is VERY difficult to get a job. Typically, people stay forever and do not leave until they retire. There are a lot of schools and even a lot in the surrounding areas, so that's good....more possibilities. Here's where my question comes in. My husband had 2 interviews that went well...in fact, both schools are going to the board with his name. Both of the board meetings are on the 17th so we won't know anything until then. Since both schools have made it clear to my husband that they want him, that would leave him with 2 choices. The pay is about the same but one position is with special ed (he is currently enrolled in the Master's program) and the second position would be a PE teacher. My husband originally went to college to be a Health/PE teacher....he loves it. How does a person turn one position down that has gotten to the point that they have taken his name to the board? If he turns one down, will he not ever be considered for anything at that school again? How does this work?

I have to say, since it is so difficult to get a decent position here, we are thankful that we are on this end and not the other. Would rather have 2 offers than none.

Thanks for reading this!
