As a teacher in Manitoba, you can only give notice to leave a position (gracefully) at the end of November (for the beginning of February) or the end of May (for the following school year). However, that is more for if you are switching from one school board to another.

Your friend may be best advised to call their union rep and discuss the situation with them. They will have the best advice on how to proceed. In addition, they may be able to comment (perhaps not elaborate) on whether or not there are multiple complaints/issues with the new administration in the school. Protocol in this end of the country is that if you have a complaint to file, you first discuss it with the professional in question (i.e. the principal) and see how far it goes from there.

Teaching can be a thankless profession at times, and so I hope your friend is able to stick it out and survive what appears to be a rough year. At the very least, there should be resources out there for stress management, etc. within the union and that may help ease things off for now.
