Common use of Teacher Contracts Clause in Contracts

Teacher Contracts. Upon the recommendation the Superintendent, the Board will issue contracts as follows: A. Teachers new to the system will be employed for one year. B. Instructional personnel hired under provisional certification/licensure will be given an initial limited contract of one year – this may be renewed no more than once. Then a three-year contract will be issued. This may be renewed no more than once. After a total of eight years all subsequent limited contracts shall be for five years. This procedure is contingent upon satisfactory performance as determined through the Board adopted evaluation procedure. However, the Board recognizes a need for teacher non-renewal for other than performance in state and federal programs funded on a limited basis. C. Teachers who attain or hold a professional life or permanent certificate, or professional license who satisfy all legal requirements for a continuing contract shall complete the terms of their current contracts before being offered a continuing contract. However, the Board shall upon written application of the teacher involved, raise the question of granting a continuing contract before the full term of the limited contract has been achieved. D. Teachers who qualify for a continuing contract and wish to be considered for tenure will notify the Superintendent prior to March 1. However, failure to notify the Superintendent shall not cause the teacher to waive his/her right to a continuing contract. (See ADDENDUM G) E.
