Document History
Adopted – 12.1.2015. Policy – 400.50 – Resignation was adopted to include all employee groups in one (1) employee resignation policy (i.e., ESP, licensed employees, and administrators). The policy is organized to inform each employee group of their responsibility to provide notice of resignation and the unique timing requirements for each employee group. In addition, an early notification incentive is provided to employees provide early notification. Similarly, in the event the employee fails to provide adequate notice, the policy language provides for an assessment from the employee. The policy includes a provision to release an employee from their contract and an assessment in extenuating circumstances.
