407.1 - Resignation of Licensed Personnel

Resignations shall be written or typed, signed by the resigning party and directed to the superintendent of schools and referred to him/her to the Board of Directors with recommendations, as provided by statute.

The Board recognizes that there are some emergency circumstances which force an employee to request a release from a contract before the expiration date of the contract; therefore personnel will be released from their contracts at such time that a suitable replacement is secured.

An employee who requests release from a contract before the expiration date of the contract for reasons of other types of employment or for employment in another school district shall be released under the following conditions only:

            A]        Between June1st and June 30th

                        1.  Will not be released until a suitable replacement is secured.

                        2.  Must provide a certified/cashiers check of $400 to the Ed-Co School District to defray costs of securing a replacement.

            B]        Between July 1st and July 15th

                        1.  Will not be released until a suitable replacement is secured.

                        2.  Must provide a certified/cashiers check of $500 to the Ed-Co School District to defray costs of securing a replacement.

            C]        Between July 16th and August 1st

                        1.  Will not be released until a suitable replacement is secured.

                        2.  Must provide a certified/cashiers check of $600 to the Ed-CoSchool District to defray costs of securing a replacement.

            D]        After August 1st

                        1.  Will not be released until a suitable replacement is secured.

                        2.  Must provide a certified/cashiers check of $750 to the Ed-Co School District to defray costs of securing a replacement.

            Certain circumstances may exist whereby the Board would have the prerogative to waive A, B, C, or D.

In the event a staff personnel member terminates employment without proper release, the superintendent of school is directed to advise the Department of Education for appropriated action by the Department.
