Because the funding of programs at the four Regional Service Centers is generated from grants, district assessments, UEN and the State Office of Education, there is always the possibility that necessary funding may not be available for different positions. Therefore, all full-time employees at SEDC are considered “at-will” and are awarded contracts or letters of appointment on a yearly basis with the stipulation that appointments may be canceled at any time if sufficient funds are not available to meet the financial obligations of the center. Contracts shall be in force from July 1 to June 30. Termination of the contract by SEDC will be based upon (1) lack of funds, (2) failure to meet job requirements and/or certification when required, (3) insubordination, (4) inefficiency, or (5) for other sufficient reasons. In anticipation of contract termination, the director will notify the individual concerned in writing of his/her intent to not renew or to terminate the contact by April 15. He/she shall also provide this document to the Executive Board along with a recommendation for continued contracts in the May board meeting.
