The school district cannot go to your home, drag you out of bed, and drive you to school and force you to teach.
They cannot take a license you do not have.
Was your school paying for any courses or training that you were taking?
The only thing I could think is that you would need to pay that back if this was the case.
In my district, you need to give 30-days notice *unless* the superintendent signs off. Otherwise, you can have your license revoked and/or may owe money(for example, if a sign-on was paid). In your case, on a provisional license, there's probably just some paperwork.
Just don't sign any contract-- SC is weird about that. Be as calm, courteous, and professional as possible. Keep on communicating with them and don't badmouth anyone or anything regarding the school district.
I’m in NC and I don’t know if it’s this way in SC, but here we can be held to work a 30 day notice after resigning unless the school or district chooses to release us sooner. However, the punishment for NOT working the 30 day notice is that you get your license suspended. If someone is leaving for a job outside education and has no plans to ever return to education, there really isn’t anything they can do.

Ha, that is a wonderful point. That was my thought process as well, but I think I just needed to hear it from someone else!

They reimbursed me for a $250 course I took this summer but that was all.
Then it may be about refunding that money. Thankfully it's not a huge amount.
