Accept Job or Not
school A is offering me a teaching job immediately.
Accepting means i cannot seek a better school (B)for the next 2 yrs.
Rejecting means i can seek job at school (B) with 50/50 chances of getting a job there but still get school A but forego 2 months salary in school (A).

Given the economic times and the budgetary belt tightening all school systems are under. My advice would be that a Bird in Hand is worth Two in the Bush.
Meaning take the position that is guaranteed and be happy you have a job. So many school systems through out this country are being forced to cut back. School "B" may be waiting for their budget to be approved before they offer anyone a position, where as school "A" has made you a firm offer which sounds like a guaranteed position for at least 2 years.
Should school "A" be forced to cut back at the end of this year you would be free to apply to school "B" at that time if you were laid off. Your contract with school a would be come void at the time of your dismissal.

If you are absolutely CERTAIN that you will still be able to get this job in education at school A then I would wait the two months if you can afford to do so.
These days, a person is lucky to have any job at all. Don't hold out for school B unless you are sure A will still be around.
