Thanks for your input. I have not recontacted them, and still have
heard nothing. This private school does not start until Sept 3,
but still....
I did get a call today inviting me to interview for a long term-
sub position (public school) starting on the first day of school
(next Monday)so it is nice to have a possible other option to
think about. If I end up just going back to day to day subbing, at
least I will be no worse off than I was last school year.
