The most substantial payment of public funds for the operation of the School District is that which is made to the employees of the Board of Education for services rendered. To insure that each person so compensated is validly employed by this District and that the compensation remitted fairly represents the services rendered, this policy is promulgated.

Employment of all District personnel whether by the year, term, month, week, day, or hour in contract, temporary, or substitute must be approved by the Board.

Contracts shall include the name of the individual, the position title, and the compensation to be paid as prescribed in a negotiated collective bargaining agreement or determined by a wage guideline.

All substitute teacher employees shall be placed on an approved list by the Berrien County Intermediate School District before they can be assigned substitute duty by the administration.

The Board shall take note in its minutes of all actions with regard to resignation, retirement, death or discharge of all employees, or the non-reemployment of a teacher. Each such action shall include the name of the employee, and the position formerly held except that the name of a teacher who was not renewed need not be included in the minutes.
