Licensed Employees
A licensed employee who wishes to resign must notify the superintendent in writing within the time period set by the board for return of the contract and pursuant to Iowa law. This applies to regular contracts for the licensed employee's regular duties and for an extracurricular contract for extra duty. Resignations of this nature may be accepted by the board.
The board expects that all signed, fully executed contracts will be performed as stated. Release from a fully executed contract following a resignation request from a licensed employee is at the sole discretion of the board.
The Superintendent is authorized to file a complaint with the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners against any licensed employee who leaves their employment with the District without proper release from their contract from the board. Should such an instance arise, the resignation of the licensed employee may be accepted under protest so that replacement staff may be hired without jeopardizing the legal rights of the district.
The board may require a licensed employee who has resigned from an extracurricular contract to accept the resigned position for only the subsequent school year when the board has made a good faith effort to find a replacement and the licensed employee is continuing to be employed by the school district.
