Hi there--I hope I am posting this in the right place.
I relocated my life and changed careers to become a teacher about 2 years ago. I was recruited by a program seeking professionals from other fields to become teachers. The program paid the cost of tuition for a masters degree in education and for teaching certification under the condition that you teach with the school district for 3 years. I felt entirely confident in the organization and program and signed the contract. The contract is clear and explicit that leaving the position for any reason before the completion of the 3 years will result in paying back the cost of tuition for the masters program.
Since beginning the program, the organization and program has proven itself to be unsatisfactory in many ways. The organization misrepresented itself in several ways during the recruitment phase. At least two parts of the contract are simply inaccurate, in terms of the conditions and details of the program.
I have found working for the organization to no longer be possible. Do you believe I would have any legal recourse to quit without having to pay back the tuition reimbursement? I'll happily provide further details of the contract for anyone interested in helping.
