Code No. 303.2 Administration
Contract of Superintendent
The length of the contract for employment between the superintendent and the board shall be determined by the board. The contract will begin on July 1 and end on June 30. The contract shall state the terms of employment.
The first two years of a contract issued to a newly employed superintendent shall be considered a probationary period. The board may waive this period or extend it for an additional year upon the consent of the superintendent. In the event of termination of a probationary or non-probationary contract, the board shall afford the superintendent appropriate due process, including notice by May 15. The superintendent and board may mutually agree to terminate the superintendent’s contract at any time.
If a superintendent’s contract is not being renewed by the board, the contract will be extended automatically for one year unless both parties mutually agree otherwise or the superintendent is terminated.
It shall be the responsibility of the board to create a contract for the position of superintendent.
If the superintendent wishes to resign, to be released from a contract, or to retire, the superintendent must comply with board policies, Resignation of Certified Personnel, Contract Release of Certified Personnel, and Retirement of Certified Personnel, respectfully.
