Did you already sign the contract?

No, I only verbally accepted the job offer. They just sent me the contract and it’s for 2 years

you can deny it via email or phone call and say something like “hi, i noticed this contract is a two year deal; and unfortunately that won’t work for me. so i have to decline the offer, thank you for the consideration and i wish your organization the best”

I’ll try calling and emailing. I don’t know what their summer break hours are like (teaching job) and the school’s 3 hours away so probably won’t go in person

Oh, that makes it easy. Just reach out to your point of contact and let them know that you’re not interested in signing a two year contract. You can try to see if they’ll do a one year contract or just decline the offer. At this point, you haven’t done anything legally binding. You’re still in the negotiation phase as far as documentation is concerned.
