Regular Contracts. All bargaining unit members shall be issued written contracts in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code and the provisions of this Agreement. The Association recognizes the Board's right to adopt a policy unilaterally making every new teacher's employment conditional upon Board receipt of a Bureau of Criminal Identification record check. The Board may adopt such a policy to implement the provision of Section 109.57 (F) of the Ohio Revised Code. The Association agrees it will not file a grievance, unfair labor practice charge or otherwise challenge the establishment of such a policy. Bargaining unit members' regular contracts shall be of two (2) types, limited and continuing. Normally, limited contracts shall be offered in the following sequence; first contract one (1) year, second contract one (1) year, third contract three (3) years, fourth and succeeding contracts five (5) years. If the Superintendent intends to recommend to the Board an interruption of the normal sequence of contracts, the bargaining unit member shall be offered an opportunity to have a conference with the Superintendent prior to Board action and to be given the reasons for the recommended variation. At the end of such interruption of the normal sequence, the Superintendent and Board may elect again to deviate from the normal sequence (following the procedure that appears in the immediately preceding sentence), but in no event will a third successive interruption of the normal sequence occur. After such interruption(s) of the normal sequence, the member's next limited contract, if the member is rehired, will be the contract that would have been granted prior to the interruption(s) in the next sequential order. Continuing contracts shall be offered by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code except that: to be eligible all bargaining unit members must have served five (5) years in the District. The District shall not be required to offer a continuing contract to any bargaining unit member during the life of a multi-year contract. Contracts shall include the following information:
