I have been looking for a new job, because the current job is not working, financially speaking, and is not stable, due to mercurial bosses. I'm in a giant hole right now, and I really need to find a new job soon. I'm a teacher at a small (newish) charter school that is in the same building as a large, longstanding private school. Our schools seem to have a good relationship and we refer students/families back and forth when we feel they're better suited to the other school. The admin of my school know the admin of the private school, although I couldn't guess as to how close/friendly they are. We have made arrangements to use some of their facilities, and when we do, one of our admin go to supervise, so they go over there on occasion.
A position has opened up at the private school and I would like to apply it for it, but I'm worried that they'll mention something to my admin if they see them--not necessarily maliciously, but anything could be detrimental if I don't get the job. The admin at my current school are very vindictive and I'm worried they would either a) find a reason to fire me b) try to bully me out of my job, as they've done this to other teachers.
Would it be appropriate to add some kind of PS/note to my cover letter referencing our schools' relationship and asking for discretion? Should I not apply at all/does it seem too risky?
