YOUR VOICE. applications for teachers and certifed administrators ask if applicants have had their certifcate sanctioned for any reason. Because a teaching certifcate is a state license, the suspension can also afect an educator's life in unexpected ways: some loan and job applications ask if the individual has ever had a state license sanctioned. Because the penalties for abandoning a contract can be so severe and long lasting, it is almost always a good idea to seriously explore what other options, short of actually walking away, might be available. If you fnd yourself facing this situation, contact the ATPE Member Legal Services Department for help. Our attorneys can explain your options as you navigate this difcult process. Members can submit employment-related legal questions or request legal assistance through the Member Legal Services Intake System (MLSIS) on the ATPE website. Members can also call ATPE at (800) 777-ATPE.
