The School Board requires that each professional staff member employed by this Corporation sign an employment contract.

Each successful candidate for an administrative position shall sign a contract for a period not less than one (1) year.

The employment contract shall include, but not be limited to:

The adopted salary schedule is presumed to include extra-duty assignments; such as corridor and playground duty, attendance at staff-meeting, and the assumption of any other pertinent responsibilities assigned by the school principal. It is understood that extra assignments will be made on a fair and equitable basis and by attempting to secure mutual agreement between the school principal and the faculty member(s) involved.

All contracts shall be written and shall not contain tenure provisions other than those stipulated by the Indiana Code.

The Board takes the stand that a properly executed contract is binding for both the Board and the teacher and its policy is not to release a teacher from a contractual obligation during the school year or after August 1, prior to the opening of a new school term except in instances where it is in the opinion of the Board in the best interests of all concerned for it to do so.

Full credit will be allowed for all teaching experience meeting the requirements of the State Department of Public Instruction.

Up to four (4) years of credit will be allowed for military service subject to the regulations of the State Department of Public Instruction.
