Each contract shall include a thirty-day cancellation clause. Either the employee or the board must give notice of the intent to cancel the contract at the end of thirty days. This notice will not be required when the employee is terminated during a probationary period or for cause.

Classified employees will receive a job description stating the specific performance responsibilities of their position.

It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to draw up and process the classified employee contracts and present them to the board for approval. The superintendent has the authority to hire without board approval, for bus drivers, custodians, education associates, maintenance staff, clerical personnel, and food service workers. Such employment shall be subject to the board's approval at the next regular board meeting..

The contracts, after being signed by the board president, shall be filed with the board secretary.
