If you decide to sign on for another year at your public school (GEPIK) can you make requests of changes to your contract? If so, what kinds of changes can/should you request?

Oh, you decided to stay with GEPIK?

With SMOE you can request to changes schools (I did, that was a mistake...)

I was told that I would be able to choose the school/location, but 3 days before I had to move, they finally called at 6pm and told me where I was going, nothing I could do about it.

I'm just considering my options. My school is good, but my wife and I would prefer Seoul.

You can only change schools within GEPIK's jurisdiction if you re-sign. If you want to move to Seoul, you have to start over from the beginning and apply through SMOE.

You can try, but the POE does not allow it. I made a lot of changes to my 2nd and 3rd contracts, but this past summer someone in admin found out and all hell broke loose. In short, if the princpal signs off on the changes, just hope that nobody else finds out.
