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. Tenured teachers must notify the district no later than June 1. Non-tenured, probationary, teachers should submit their contract or resignation within 15 days of receipt of the new contract; failure to do so may constitute a rejection of the board’s offer.
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.
It is the practice of the administration to recommend to the Board those certificated employees who request to resign after the applicable deadline be released from their contracts when there is good cause determined and a suitable replacement available. Certificated staff leaving after the contract deadline (Non-tenured: 15 days after new contract issuance. Tenured: June 1st.) may be subject to the fees. Should the certificated employee leave the District without approval, the District reserves the right to pursue any and all legal options available to it.
