The length of the contract for employment between an administrator and the Board shall be determined by the Board and stated in the contract. The contract will also state the terms of the employment.
The first three years of a contract issued to a newly employed administrator will be considered a probationary period. The probationary period may be extended for an additional year upon the consent of the administrator. In the event of termination of a probationary or non-probationary contract, the Board will afford the administrator appropriate due process,as required by law. The administrator and Board may mutually agree to terminate the administrator's contract.
It is the responsibility of the Superintendent to create a contract for each administrative position. The Board may issue temporary and nonrenewable contracts in accordance with law. Administrators who wish to resign, to be released from a contract, or to retire, must comply with applicable law and board policies.
Administrator’s contracts being considered for termination will be provided notice for Board action no later than May 15th. If an administrator's contract is not being renewed by the Board, the contract may be extended with a non-renewable one year contract or terminated as mutually agreed to by the parties or until the administrator's contract is terminated consistent with statutory termination procedures.
