Employee Handbook

Welcome Aboard

Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Responsible

Whether an employee works full or part-time, in an administrative, teaching, or support category, the skills and commitment you bring to your job make an important contribution to our goal of providing excellence in education to the children and families of Sigsbee Charter School (SCS) and Key West, America’s Southernmost City.

Sigsbee Charter School is comprised of grades K-8. A Charter School is a tax funded public school of choice. The school is governed by a Board of Directors and is designated for tax purposes as a non-profit. As a school of choice, families must opt in to enroll students at SCS; no student is automatically assigned to SCS. While charter schools provide an alternative to other public schools, they are part of the public education system. An employee of the Sigsbee Charter School can expect a fair and equitable salary, competitive benefits and the opportunity to be a part of the best that public education has to offer. We are pleased to have you as a member of our team and hope that you find that the satisfaction gained from doing your job matches the effort you put into your work.

This Employee Handbook has been written to provide information and guidance to SCS employees. SCS expressly reserves the right to change, add or delete any of the provisions in this handbook at any time. Moreover, given the reality of a complex, ever- evolving organization, the information in this handbook is not all-inclusive. The Employee Handbook is not a contract. Employees covered under contract should consult their own contracts regarding specific working conditions and benefits. Copies of the contracts are available from the Office Manager.
