Common use of Termination or Non-renewal of Contract by the Board Clause in Contracts

Termination or Non-renewal of Contract by the Board. For just cause, the Board may terminate any teacher's contract or non-renew a non-probationary teacher's contract. Just cause is defined as any reason put forward by the administration or Board in good faith and which is not arbitrary, irrational, unreasonable or irrelevant to the district’s right to maintain and operate an efficient school system. Termination of a contract means a complete severance of the employer-employee relationship between the Board and the teacher prior to the end of the contract period. Non-renewal of a contract means that the current contract is not to be continued for the next succeeding school year and the employer-employee relationship will terminate at the conclusion of the current contract period.
