The School Board recognizes that the success of the summer school and adult education programs depends in large measure upon the employment of qualified and competent personnel.

Unless already provided by the terms of a negotiated agreement, the Board shall fix the compensation and set the term of employment for each person employed in the subject programs established for this Corporation. The Board will employ only those candidates recommended by the Superintendent.

A candidate's intentional misstatement of fact material to his/her qualifications for employment or the determination of his/her salary will be considered by the Board to constitute grounds for dismissal.

Wherever possible, positions shall be filled by holders of professional, or provisional certificates. Only when, after due diligence, a worthy candidate holding professional or provisional certification cannot be found, the Board may employ the holder of a limited certificate.
