This.  Years ago, when I had accepted another position in a different geographical location, I turned in my resignation in April.  I thought it was the considerate thing to do.  My principal asked me to hold it for some time.  This gave her the flexibility to interview lots of people without having to accept an internal reassignment.  (She could also say that she did not have any openings "at this time". )

Another thing, OP, although you cannot count on it, is that a number of positions will open after school starts.  After a move, I applied in the summer to a number of schools in the same system.  This was after I was a quite experienced teacher.  Three principals told me that they were almost positive they would have positions available the week before schools started.  They called me the week before and apologized--they had no positions.  Then, the day after school started, two of them (from desirable schools) called and said they were over enrolled and could have a position immediately.  I guess the system decided to pony up the slots.  [/quote]
