Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Re: Employer Promissory Note

You refer to a promissory note. I think you mean a promise in writing, for you to teach and for the Bayonne School system to pay you to do this. If my understanding is correct, then I can tell you this: No attorney can tell you what your duties are, and whether you can get sued for failing to teach, until the attorney reviews the contract and reviews the law that applies to that type of contract.

Please consult with a lawyer before you decide to break your promise and refuse to teach. I do NOT know and can not say whether you could be sued if you do this. I do think the School District may be very unhappy, because they thought that you would be one of their teachers, and they are counting on you to fill a classroom and teach those kids.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. A brief telephone consultation will be free. I would be happy to help you out.
