Non-Tenured Teachers. A leave may be granted to a non-tenured teacher by action of the Board of Education, subject to all the conditions applicable to a tenured teacher. However, for a school term to count toward the attainment of tenure, the non-tenured teacher must work at least one hundred twenty (120) full time employment days. A school term that is not counted toward attainment of tenure shall not be considered a break in service for purposes of determining whether the non- tenured teacher has been employed for the period of time necessary to attain tenure, provided that the non-tenured teacher actually teaches or is otherwise present and participating in District 34’s educational program in the following school term. The granting of maternity leave to any non-tenured teacher shall not constitute a precedent for the granting or withholding of leave to any other non-tenured teacher. Each request shall be judged on its own merits and shall be within the sole discretion of the Board. Additional conditions or restrictions may be established for any such leave, provided nothing herein shall be construed as requiring any non-tenured teacher to apply for such leave or accept the conditions established therefore.
Non-Tenured Teachers. All non-tenured teachers shall be evaluated on an annual basis by the principal of the non-tenured teacher’s home base school or by an appropriately certified administrator no later than the second week in May. The procedure to be utilized by the evaluator in conducting said evaluation is described in the Teacher Evaluation Handbook. The Teacher Evaluation Handbook is a document, mutually agreed to by the parties and can be amended only by the parties. The Director of Human Resources will provide a copy of the Teacher Evaluation Handbook to each non- tenured teacher. All scores recorded for the teacher during his/her probationary period shall be totaled and this score shall be used to determine seniority when two or more teachers have the same date of employment. If a tie remains, a lottery will be conducted by the Director of Human Resources in order to break the tie. The affected teachers and the union representative shall be present.
Non-Tenured Teachers. For the non-tenured teachers, there shall be a minimum of three (3) written evaluations each year. One (1) of the evaluations will be based on an announced observation, one (1) on an unannounced observation, and one (1) on other aspects of a teacher's professional responsibilities. The non-tenured teacher will be evaluated on the Standard Evaluation Plan. Parts A and B of the plan must be evaluated at least two (2) times. Part C of the plan must be evaluated at least once. Subsequent written evaluations or observations may be based upon an announced or unannounced observation or an observation of a teacher’s other professional responsibilities.
Non-Tenured Teachers. Non-tenured teachers shall be considered to be on a three-year probationary status during which time they will receive a regular evaluation.
Non-Tenured Teachers. (a) Non-tenured teachers shall be observed by their immediate supervisors at least three times each school year, to be followed in each instance by a written evaluation report. A follow-up conference between the teacher and the immediate supervisor must be held for the purpose of identifying any deficiencies and extending assistance for their remediation and the improvement of instruction.
(b) The non-tenured teacher shall have the right to attach to the written evaluation his/her remarks and reaction within ten (10) days following the conference.
Non-Tenured Teachers. Discipline and Discharge - Probationary Teachers (1st and 2nd years only)
Non-Tenured Teachers. No non-tenured teacher shall be disciplined or suspended without just cause. The Trustees of the district may dismiss a teacher before the expiration of the teacher’s employment contract for good cause. Non-tenured teachers may be non-renewed as per Montana State Law. It is understood that nothing in this contract will restrict or limit the Board’s legal authority to renew or not renew the contract of a non- tenured teacher.
Non-Tenured Teachers. No probationary teacher shall be dismissed without due process of the law according to Chapter 866, Section 3031 of the New York State Education Law.
Non-Tenured Teachers. The final summative evaluation conference each year for non-tenured teachers shall be held at least two (2) school days prior to any Board action to retain, dismiss or grant tenure to such teachers, except where termination is for cause. During the conference, the evaluator shall inform the teacher of his/her recommendation concerning his/her continued employment in the District.
Non-Tenured Teachers. A parental leave may be granted to a non-tenured teacher under unusual circumstances by action of the Board, subject to all the conditions applicable to a tenured teacher, provided the term of such leave shall not be considered in computing full-time employment under Section 24-11 of The School Code for purposes of the continuous employment necessary to attain contractual continued service status (i.e., upon return from such leave, the teacher shall be considered to have commenced the first probationary year). If, however, a non-tenured teacher has taught at least 120 days in the school year in which the teacher takes an approved parental leave, then, upon return to teaching in the following year, the teacher’s absence shall no be considered a break in full-time employment and the teacher shall be credited with a full year of probationary service. If a non-tenured teacher returns from an approved parental leave that began in the summer following their fourth year of probationary service in the District, the teacher shall be considered to have commenced their first year of tenure. The granting of parental leave to any non-tenured teacher shall not constitute a precedent for the granting or withholding of leave to any other non-tenured teacher. Each request shall be judged on its own merits and shall be within the sole discretion of the Board. Additional conditions or restrictions may be established for any such leave, provided nothing herein shall be construed as requiring any non-tenured teacher to apply for such leave or accept the conditions established therefore.
