3140 - TERMINATION, NON-RENEWAL AND RESIGNATION

TERMINATION AND NON-RENEWAL

Teacher contracts may be terminated or non-renewed upon a majority vote of the full membership of the Board of Education.

All employees are at will employees that may be terminated or whose contracts may be non-renewed for any reason provided that the decision is not arbitrary or capricious, or in violation of any applicable law.

In the event the District Administrator intends to recommend the non-renewal of a teacher’s contract, he or she shall comply with applicable statutory non-renewal procedures. No teacher may be terminated or non-renewed solely on the basis of the results of mandatory student examinations.

A decision to terminate or non-renew a staff member’s employment contract may be subject to review under the grievance procedure, depending on the terms set forth in Policy 3340 - Grievance Procedure.

RESIGNATION

A professional staff member may resign in accordance with the terms of his/her employment contract. A resignation, once submitted and accepted by the Board, is final and may not be rescinded without approval by the Board.

An administrator, other than a business manager, principal, or assistant principal, may resign by filing a written resignation with the District Administrator.

A resignation, once accepted, may not then be rescinded.

The District Business Manager, Principal, and any assistant principals employed by the district may resign employment with the District in accordance with the terms of his/her contract. A resignation, once submitted and accepted by the Board, may not be rescinded without further action by the Board.
