Continuing Contract Eligibility. The office of the Superintendent or designee will send a timely Districtwide email notifying all bargaining unit members that to be considered for a continuing contract, they must provide written notice to the Superintendent of Schools by October 1 of their intent to meet the statutory requirements in order to be considered for a continuing contract at the April meeting of the Board of Education. The professional, permanent, or life certificate or equivalent professional education license must be on file with the Superintendent of Schools by March 31 for the bargaining unit member to be considered for continuing contract status in April. Statutory requirements for continuing contract eligibility are set forth in Sections 3319.08 and 3319.11 of the Ohio Revised Code. Bargaining unit members who do not provide written notice by October 1 and/or do not have transcripts of their thirty (30) graduate hours, or their professional, permanent, or life certificate or professional educator license/certificate on file by March 31, will not be eligible for continuing contract consideration until April of the following school year.
Continuing Contract Eligibility. Teachers shall be eligible for continuing contract status in accordance with ORC Section 3319.11, provided however that no teacher shall be deemed eligible to be considered for a continuing contract nor be deemed employed on a continuing contract by operation of law unless the teacher, no later than October 1st of the school year in which the teacher's employment contract is to expire, files with the Oak Hills Superintendent or his/her designee, a letter of intent that they will meet all legal qualifications of a continuing contract prior to receipt of a new contract for the following year. Failure by the teacher to provide notice of continuing contract eligibility by October 1st may result in the teacher receiving a one year limited contract. Grades/transcripts initially eligible for continuing contract must be received by the Superintendent or Superintendent's designee prior to April 1st of each year. This provision supersedes and replaces those requirements of Ohio Revised Code Section 3319.08 and 3319.11.
Continuing Contract Eligibility. Any licensed employee who meets the requirements of Ohio law for a continuing contract will be eligible to apply for a continuing contract. Such eligibility will only be available upon completion of the teacher’s current contract.

a. If a teacher has not attained continuing contract elsewhere in Ohio, the teacher must be completing his/her third year of work in the Northwestern Local Schools out of the last five (5) years. If a teacher has had continuing contract elsewhere in Ohio, then continuing contract eligibility occurs from the time of hire through completion of his/her second year in the Northwestern Local Schools. Teachers who receive their license on/after January 1, 2011 will be eligible for tenure after they have taught at least seven (7) years, consistent with ORC 3319.08.
b. At the time of the Board vote for continuing contract, the teacher must have on file with the Superintendent, a copy of a professional or higher certificate/license and professional license holders must have provided the Superintendent with evidence of completion of the course work requirements found in Ohio Revised Code 3319.08 which at the date of this Agreement provides:
