Report

I was offered another position at another school further away. They
need an answer ASAP. I'm so stressed and gave in and called the
principal to ask for a time frame. I left a message and asked if she
could call me when she can. I feel so stressed!!! I didn't want to
call but need to know.

I asked her if she could call me when she can. I was very nice and
apologized for calling so early.

None of my references were called. What's going on ??? This is the
district I really want! Worried :( Thank you again for your feedback
