This Manual is intended to provide employees with a general understanding of the School’s personnel policies. Employees are required to familiarize themselves with the contents of this Manual, for it will answer many common questions concerning employment with School.

This Manual cannot anticipate every situation or answer every question about employment. This, however, is intended to be the guide to the Board and the employee and is to be considered a part of the employment contract. It is understood by employees and employer that the Manual may be amended from time to time by the Board. The employee shall be notified of any modifications to the Manual and are expected to follow the modification to the Manual as adopted by the Board.

In order to retain necessary flexibility in the administration of policies and procedures, the Board reserves the right to change, revise, or eliminate any of the policies and/or benefits described in this Manual. The only recognized deviations from the stated policies are those authorized by Board action.

Specific duty assignments (i.e., grade level, subject matter area, etc.) shall be made based upon the needs of the School as those needs are determined by the Principal in consultation with appropriate supervisors. Should the needs of the School change, assignments may also change at the direction and discretion of the Principal, to meet the School’s needs. This provision applies to all positions including, but not limited to, teachers and/or teacher assistants.
