Probationary Contracts. (a) The first three years of employment will be considered a probationary period. During the first semester of employment, the probationary faculty member will teach a reduced load (12 credit hours or 15 contact hours) to enable the probationary faculty member to be oriented to the duties of an effective faculty member, both inside and outside the classroom. The probationary faculty member during the first term will complete the faculty orientation program established by the Chief Academic Officer or designee. Recommendation regarding renewal of a probationary faculty's contract will be made by the Xxxx to the Chief Academic Officer. The retention or release of probationary faculty is at the discretion of the College and is not subject to the grievance procedure provided Section 9.03 of this article has been substantially followed. Notice of non-renewal of contract must be received by the probationary faculty no later than 45 days preceding the expiration of the current probationary contract. All probationary contracts will be one year in length (either nine or twelve months).
(b) If a new faculty member is first employed under a contract of less than one full academic year, probationary status will not be offered until the faculty member receives a regular academic year faculty appointment, unless waived by the Chief Academic Officer.
(c) In the case of a probationary faculty who is not performing satisfactorily but shows improvement, the Xxxx may recommend to the Chief Academic Officer that the probationary period be extended for one additional year. The same procedures as above shall then apply for that year. The probationary period shall not last more than four years.
(d) When a faculty member has their probationary status modified (e.g., extended, terminated, other), the NCSFA-AAUP will be notified in writing in a timely manner.
Probationary Contracts. 1. A full-time bargaining unit member on a probationary contract shall be notified in writing by February 15 if the member is to be offered a contract for the next academic year.
Probationary Contracts. (1) These contracts may be terminated by mutual consent at any time.
(2) If a faculty member wishes to resign at the end of a contract year, they shall give notice as soon as possible, but no later than April 30.
(3) No faculty member shall be summarily suspended from duties during the school year except for investigative purposes in cases of serious misconduct, gross incompetence or for acts of moral turpitude or gross insubordination. In these instances, suspension with pay may be immediate following Administrative action. The Administration shall notify the Association immediately upon suspension. If there are no adverse findings, a faculty member will be reinstated. In the event of adverse findings a faculty member may be disciplined up to and including dismissal. The issue may then be resolved through the usual grievance procedure, if desired.
(4) Provided the evaluation procedure as authorized in this Agreement has been followed, a faculty member under probationary contract may be released at the end of the school year without recourse to the grievance procedure notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.11. A recommendation on whether or not a continuing contract shall be extended to the probationary faculty member will be determined in conjunction with the appropriate Vice President. The Vice President will consider all aspects (see Section 10.6) of the probationary faculty member’s performance in preparing a recommendation for continued employment. The Vice President will forward their recommendation for continuing employment to the Administration (President, Xxxxxxx/Executive Vice President, Executive Director of Human Resources) with all appropriate supporting materials, including the evaluation team’s written recommendation. If the Administration intends not to renew the contract at the end of the semester, the faculty member involved shall be notified by the last date of the semester.
Probationary Contracts. During a teacher's first three (3) years of employment by the Board, the teacher shall work under probationary teacher contracts. During this period of probation, a Board's decision to suspend, terminate, layoff or non-renew the teacher's contract will not be subject to the grievance/arbitration provisions of this Agreement provided that in instances of non-renewal the conditions of 5.2 are met.
A. A probationary teacher (including teachers under a temporary contract) will receive a minimum of two (2) classroom observations per year during the first two years that will be included in the final evaluation of each year. Written evaluations and observations of probationary teachers shall not be subject to the grievance/arbitration provisions of this Agreement.
B. Leave of Absences of a half year or more do not count towards satisfying the probationary period.
Probationary Contracts. (1) Upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, the board may issue a one
(1) or two (2) year probationary limited contract for a teacher who is eligible for a continuing contract if:
(a) The Superintendent or designee notifies the teacher at least ten (10) calendar days in advance of a regular or special May Board meeting of his/her intent to recommend a probationary contract with professional improvement goals attached to the same.
(b) The issuance of a probationary contract shall be based on performance of contracted duties deemed by the administration to be less than satisfactory as documented by evaluation.
(c) Upon the termination of the probationary contract period, the member of the bargaining unit must be given a continuing contract or notified of the Board's intent not to renew such contract pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(2) The Board may approve a probationary contract as recommended by the Superintendent by simple majority vote, with written notice of the Board's action to the teacher on or before May 15.
(3) Notices under this section may be given by personal delivery or by depositing written notice in the U.S. certified mail at least two calendar days before the deadline, addressed to the teacher's address on file with the Treasurer at the time of the mailing.
(4) This Section (A)(1)(e) supersedes Ohio Revised Code 3319.11 as to procedures for issuance of extended limited (probationary) teacher contracts.
Probationary Contracts. A probationary contract may be given to a full-time faculty unit member who is occupying a permanent position and who is in the first or second complete academic year of appointment with the special school. During the period of probationary appointment faculty unit members will be evaluated once each semester and informed of any deficiencies. Evaluations and plans to correct deficiencies will be conducted in accordance with Article XI, Evaluation.
Probationary Contracts. 40.06 A teacher on a probationary contract with a Board may also enter into a term contract to fill a position with the Board in accordance with Clause 42.07(a) or Clause 42.07(c) and shall be deemed to be on leave without pay from that teacher’s previous position and the teacher shall retain all rights and privileges associated with his/her former position.
Probationary Contracts. Nurses and full-time, professional employees new to the district and employed in positions requiring SBEC certification must receive probationary contracts during their first year of employment. Former employees who are hired after a two- year lapse in district employment or employees who move to a position requiring a new class of certification may also be employed by probationary contract. Probationary contracts are one-year contracts. The probationary period for those who have been employed as a teacher in public education for at least five of the eight years preceding employment with the district may not exceed one school year. For those with less experience, the probationary period will be three full years (i.e., three one year contracts) with an optional fourth year if the district is doubtful about whether a term or continuing contract should be given.
Probationary Contracts. New teachers/ancillary staff hired into the System shall be considered probationary teachers/ancillary staff as long as required by Michigan law. New teachers/ancillary staff who had attained tenure in another Michigan district shall be considered probationary for two years. When teachers/ancillary staff are placed on continuing tenure, they shall be entered on the seniority list as of the date they began their duties as a teacher/ancillary staff. A teacher’s/ancillary staff’s rating shall not be affected by his or her sex, race, religion, marital status, sexual orientation or dependents.
Probationary Contracts. A probationary contract may be issued to any legally licensed teacher who is in a probationary period as defined by Minnesota Statute. This contract may be for the length of a specific program and is not necessarily for the School Year as specified in Article XIII, Section 1.
