Employee Resignation
A
certificated employee who wishes to be released from his/her contract shall
immediately deliver a written and signed notice of resignation to the office of
the superintendent. A request for
release from contract submitted before May 1 of the current school year
requesting release for the upcoming school year shall be accepted by the board
without any conditions.
Any
certificated employee who wishes to be released from his/her contract should
consider the difficulty of securing an adequate replacement for the district
and disruption to the educational program.
A late resignation greatly increases this difficulty and disruption.
No
request for release after May 1 shall be guaranteed. The superintendent, upon reviewing the
request and its impact on the district, shall forward the request to the board
with an appropriate recommendation.
The
board shall make the final determination regarding the request but shall have
no obligation to approve the employee's early release from contract.
The
board may request the employee to continue as a member of the staff and to
fulfill the terms of his/her contract.
The early release, if allowed, will become effective at the end of the
school year in which it is submitted. If
the employee has requested the release to become effective at an earlier date
than the end of the school year, the board may consider it on an individual
basis.
An
employee's refusal to fulfill his/her contract shall be cause for the district
to request a revocation of certification by the Nebraska Department of
Education.
