Common use of Release from Contract Clause in Contracts

Release from Contract. When a teacher asks to be released from a contract with the district, the Board’s first obligation is to the children in the district. If a suitable replacement can be found and it is felt that the educational program of the school will not be impaired, a teacher may be released from the obligations of a contract providing the teacher pays for the liquidated damages at the time such request is made.

In the event said release from contract is granted July 1 or after, said teacher shall pay a sum of $1,500 toward expenses involved in securing a satisfactory replacement. Applicable payment toward expenses shall accompany the request for release from contract.
