Certificated employees who for any reason intend to retire or resign at the end of the current school year are encouraged to indicate their plans in writing to the Board as early as possible, but no later than June 1.
Resignations to become effective during the school year require a release by the Board and must be considered on an individual basis. Letters of resignation shall be submitted to the Superintendent/designee and the principal/supervisor. The letter should state reasons and an effective date for the resignation.
If a suitable replacement can be employed, it is the practice to recommend releas'e from contracts for those certificated employees who request to resign prior to June 1 when there is good cause. After June 1, a certificated employee may petition the Superintendent to recommend a release from contract. If release from contract after June 1 is granted, the following penalties will be assessed:
| After June 1 | $750.00 |
| After July 1 | $1,500.00 |
| After August 1 | $3,000.00 |
Should the Superintendent decline to recommend a release and the certificated employee leaves the District, the District reserves the right to pursue any and all legal options available to it.
