Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Can I cancel a contract of employment?

I accepted a position at a local school district and signed a contract yesterday. I found out I will be unable to keep the on-site hours they need due to childcare restraints. Is there a way out of this contract?

I have tried contacting the administrator to see if they could be flexible and she has not returned my calls.

Yes, have me write a letter telling them to hire someone else. They probably will not sue you if their losses are minimized, by hiring someone else shortly, but you should have an attorney do it. Let me know if you want me to do this for you.
