Renewal or non-renewal of employee’s employment with the School will be decided during the last quarter of an employee’s current contract year; or if the employee’s contract expires without a decision or action, the employee’s employment with the school will be deemed to have been non renewed and employee’s employment with the School will terminate with the termination date of employee’s current contract. A non-renewal of an employment contract is not “adverse action.”

The School does not recognize any tenure rights or rights to continued employment of any employee beyond the term of employment identified in an employee’s current year contract. Because non-renewal is neither a disciplinary action nor adverse action, the decision to non renew the employment of an employee by the School is final and not subject to an appeal or grievance.

Probationary Employees: If the employee has not completed his/her probationary period under the old contract, then the probationary period will be continued into the new contract term if a new contract is offered. The offering of a contract renewal to a probationary employee is not considered a satisfactory completion of the probationary period. The probationary period shall continue for the mandatory ninety (90) calendar days or greater if the period is extended.

Temporary Employees: Since temporary employees are not hired for any specific contract term, the contract renewal provisions described herein do not apply to temporary employees. As previously stated, temporary employees have no right to continued employment, can be terminated at the sole discretion of employer, and have no right to appeal their termination or

contract renewal or non renewal.
