More details to this question:
I am a sign language interpreter and was told that after 2 years my deaf student was no longer deaf enough to legally require an interpreter. Also I was excluded from the last IEP meeting where this was decided.

Does the contract (an agreement is a contract) provide that you can't be let go for any reason until 6/30/14, or does it provide some grounds for which you can be terminated but doesn't include the student no longer requiring you? If so, you may have a claim for breach of contract to collect damages for the pay you would have made between 2/28/14 and 6/30/14 (minus any money you make at another job that you couldn't have made if you hadn't lost the interpreting job.)
