Code No. 405.4
LICENSED EMPLOYEE CONTINUING CONTRACTS
Contracts entered into with licensed employees, other than an administrator, will continue from year to year unless the contract states otherwise, is modified by mutual agreement between the board and the employee, or the contract is terminated by the board.
The first two years of a continuing contract issued to a newly employed licensed employee shall be considered a probationary period. The board may waive this period or extend it for an additional year upon the consent of the licensed employee. In the event of termination of the employee's contract during this period, the board shall afford the licensed employee appropriate due process. The action of the board will be final.
Licensed employees whose contracts will be recommended for termination by the board will receive notice prior to April 30. The superintendent shall make a recommendation to the board for the termination of the licensed employee's contract.
Licensed employees who wish to resign, to be released from a contract, or to retire must comply with board policies in those areas.
