The Board considers a contract with an administrator
to be a mutually binding agreement which is to be executed both in
spirit and in fact. Requests to be released from such contracts are not
encouraged.
All requests by an administrator regarding an early
contractual release shall be subject to approval by the Board. The
administrator shall submit a written request at least twenty working
days prior to the anticipated termination date. The release from the
contract shall be dependent on the circumstances involved, including the
availability of a qualified replacement.
The Board has the option to accept or reject the
resignation of any administrator that is submitted after May 1 of any
given school year. Administrators who leave the district under terms
that are not mutually agreeable shall be subject to appropriate
disciplinary action up to and including dismissal and a recommendation
to the Michigan Department of Education that the employee's certificate
be revoked. It shall be the policy of the district to not provide
letters of recommendation for that employee and to place an
informational letter in the personnel file of the employee.
Once a resignation is tendered and accepted by the
Board, that resignation shall be considered final unless its withdrawal
is requested and approved by the Board.
