Certificated employees who for any reason intend to retire or resign are encouraged to indicate their plans in writing to the Board as early as possible. Resignations become effective at the end of the school year in which they are submitted. Resignations to become effective earlier than at the end of the school year require a release by the Board and must be considered on an individual basis. Letters of resignation shall be submitted to the Superintendent/designee and the principal/supervisor. The letter should state the reasons and an effective date for the resignation.
Resignations will be accepted upon the hiring of a suitable replacement, with the following penalty payment schedules:
Resignation between June 1 and June 30 – 1% of signed contract salary
Resignation between July 1 and July 31 – 2% of signed contract salary
Resignation after July 31 – 3% of signed contract salary
Resignations received later than June 1st must be accompanied by a form, signed by the Certificated Employee, giving the District permission to withhold the penalty payment from their final check if the penalty has not been satisfied before such time: before the Board of Education will act upon the resignation.
The Board reserves the right to waive the penalty if it feels unusual circumstances warrant such waiver, or the right to refuse to accept any resignation.
