        Description: 
Hi Kari,  I hate to do this, but I am going to have to rescind my acceptance of the special education position effective immediately due to family reasons. Without going into details, I do very much appreciate your offer and believe very much in what you hope to do at STES. I do want to say that after signing the contract in May then hearing about the consolidation of Carlton and Wrenshall, my family became very concerned about not surviving budget cuts due to my low seniority ranking. As someone who has suffered through multiple districts as they lay off staff, we knew a year of worrying about this would not be good for me and my family. I just finished emptying the classroom of my belongings. I am sorry for the position this puts your school in. I hope you find a good fit for your school. I have heard so many great things about you and your staff. I know I would have enjoyed working with you all. If you wouldn’t mind, could you please acknowledge that you received this email. I will send another one to the district office once I return home. Respectfully submitted. John Atella |
