RESIGNATION OF STAFF

A resigning Licensed Staff Member is required to provide written notification of resignation to the Human Resource office.  The authority to accept the resignation upon receipt will reside with the Superintendent or the School Board. The resignation shall be effective as of the date specified in the notice. If no effective date is specified in the notice, the resignation shall be effective as of the date specified in the superintendent’s acceptance letter.

A licensed staff member who wishes to resign from their position with the district must give written notice at least 60 days prior to the date he/she wishes to leave district employment. The Board or Superintendent may accept the resignation effective the day it is received and either release the teacher immediately or inform the teacher that he/she must continue working for part or all of the 60-day period.

Where less than a 60-day notice is given, the Superintendent may request the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) to suspend the teacher’s license for the remainder of the school year. The Board may consider exceptions as a result of an emergency or other extenuating circumstance.

A classified employee is expected to submit a written and signed notice of resignation to the Human Resource Department at least two weeks prior to the date they wish to leave district employment.
