Contractual Status Reminders

• Only the head principal/supervisor can sign the Contractual Status Form.

• If the Contractual Status form is for a non-tenured certified or non-job rights classified employee, check the box that says the recommendation is based on the evaluation period of 1 Year. 

• This form does not need to be completed for tenured certified (F-M) or job rights (F-M). The contract is continuing. 

• During the conference, be sure to point out to the evaluatee the section that states:

"I HAVE READ THE ABOVE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE SCHOOL/DEPARTMENT AND UNDERSTAND THAT FINAL CONTRACTUAL STATUS WILL BE DETERMINDED AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL."

• By signing the form, the evaluatee is only acknowledging that they have received the information, not that they agree with it. 

• If the evaluatee refuses to sign the Contractual Status and/or Summative Rating form, note "employee refused to sign" on the form and then the supervisor will sign and date it. 

• The form must be printed and signed - hard copy is delivered to Human Resources

March:  Exit Interviews with Budget and Financial Planning and HR. 

• • 1. • • Principals/Hiring Managers that have employees that are mandatory non-renewals (retirees, temp. cert.) have received an email. 

         • If non-renewing “For Cause”: 

           • Submit documentation to HR Director.

           • This is considered termination.

           • This should not be a surprise (ICAP, Progressive Discipline, meetings/communication with HR beforehand).

           • These individuals will not be eligible for rehire.

April: Non-Renewal Letters will be hand delivered to the schools.  Only administrators can receive the letters. 

• • Please be sure to have your contractual status conference with the employee before then.

The contractual status recommendation should be consistent with the non-renewal letters. 

• • If non-renewing and you plan on rehiring someone, still mark non-renew on the contractual status form for those individuals.
