I'm getting ready to graduate and become a special needs/elementary teacher. I want to teach in the county next to me, but there are a couple people there that hate my guts and they are parents too. When I first attended college I went my first year to a community college there (county next to me.) One girl hates my guts beause she heard I called her a racial slur kind of name(which I didn't) One girl hates me because She was harassing my boyfriend (stalking him) and I told her about it. She then started stuff with me at a ballgame (fight) This is high school stuff I know, but these people are still holding a grudge. Thishas been 4 years ago, but I seen the both of them about 2 years ago and they tried to start trouble with me again. Can they as parents prevent me from working here? If they start stuff should I press charges? How can I take care of this problem?

no they can not prevent you work, you should be hired by the principal. If they give you trouble just walk away. You are the one who has the most to lose if you have a job in that school system,

Generally, a parent has no say in who a school district chooses to hire. I wouldn't even worry about this until you actually get a job. If this is something that you feel might affect your position, once you are hired, then I would mention it to your principal. (I'm not sure how big your district is so I have no idea what the chances are that you would be teaching at the same school.)
As long as you are working according to the standards of your district's policy, you should be fine.
If it does become a problem, any reasonable administrator would be supportive; this happened in the past and you are trying to move forward.
The best advice I've ever gotten, and this goes for anyone in the teaching profession, is CYA. Cover your ---. Be sure to keep a log of parent and professional communication. I doesn't have to be detailed unless it is a special circumstance. You'd be surprised how handy it will be to you in the future! (Trust me on this one.) Best of luck and welcome to teaching!
