Jo is a renowned music teacher for Stockton Unified School District. She is contacted by the Chicago School District superintendent to start a music program in Chicago for disadvantaged children. The superintendent offers to double Jo's current salary if she'll move to Chicago, sign the contract, and start in two weeks. The calls are made just before the start of the school year in Stockton. Jo relies on the superintendent and gives her notice to SUSD then moves to Illinois.
After arriving she reports to the superintendent's office. He apologizes and tells her that they lost their funding and he no longer has a position for her. Disappointed, she returns to Stockton. SUSD has already filled her position. She's so depressed that she just can't go back to work for the entire school year even though another position opens up at the Christmas break at her old school, for her old salary.
In the following fall, she is rehired to her old position. She sues Chicago School District for breach of contract and the full year of lost wages and benefits. What should the result of her suit be? What are her damages?
