On April 1, 2006, Carlos received a letter from Clear Creek School Corporation (CCSC) offering him a job as a high school mathematics teacher for the academic year 2007-08, at a salary of $32,000. Carlos considered the offer for several days and then, on April 4, he sent CCSC a letter in which he stated that he accepted its offer. In this letter, Carlos also stated, "Is CCSC willing to pay me the $2,000 signing bonus that many of my classmates are getting from other school districts?" On April 5, before CCSC had received Carlos's letter, Carlos received a letter from CCSC's superintendent stating that CCSC had decided to hire someone else and was revoking its offer to him.
