RESIGNATION OF CERTIFICATED PERSONNEL
Resignations shall be in writing, signed by the employee making the request, directed to the Superintendent of Schools. The Superintendent will submit it to the Board of Directors with recommendations as provided by law.
Resignations must by filed at least thirty (30) days prior to the requested release from contract. Releases granted after June 1 of each calendar year must by contingent on the district’s ability to employ a suitable replacement, and the released employee’s payment of up to $1,500 for advertising expenses incurred by the district to hire the replacement teacher. Failure to provide reimbursement will result in a charge being filed in small claims court. This paragraph does not apply to resignations resulting from medical disability.
Further, if an employee leaves without proper release, the Superintendent of Schools is directed to file a complaint with the Iowa Professional Teaching Practices Commission.
