	A.	the term for which employment is contracted, including beginning and ending dates;
	B.	the salary which the Superintendent shall be paid;
	C.	the benefits to which s/he is entitled;
	D.	a provision for the termination of the contract on at least six (6) months written notice duly given by its parties;
	E.	such other matters as may be necessary to a full and complete understanding of the employment contract.

The person selected for the position of Superintendent shall be required to undergo a physical examination reasonably related to the duties s/he will be required to perform, the cost of which shall be borne by the District.

Any applicant under final consideration of employment with the Board must complete a DMA form with no positive indications that material assistance has been provided to a terrorist organization before working in the District (see Policy 8120).
