Common use of Continuing Contract Eligibility Clause in Contracts

Continuing Contract Eligibility. 1. Employees will be considered for continuing contract based on the requirements set forth in Ohio law. An employee wishing to be considered for continuing contract must notify the responsible administrator and Superintendent of this desire in writing by September 30 in the year preceding the Board action to grant a continuing contract. Employees expecting to receive a continuing contract must meet all criteria, including transcripts, CEUs and licensure and have provided evidence of same to the Superintendent on or before March 1. An employee being recommended for continuing contract must be recommended in writing and the recommendation must be attached to the employee’s “Teacher Evaluation Form.” In the event an employee becomes eligible for continuing contract during the term of a multi-year limited contract, the Superintendent may agree to consider the employee during that year or may elect to wait until the year in which the multi-year limited contract expires to consider the employee for continuing contract. 2. An employee who has met all requirements to become eligible for continuing contract but who has, in the opinion of the responsible administrator or Superintendent, certain other deficiencies, shall be notified of such deficiencies in writing by the Superintendent on or before June 1. At the recommendation of the Superintendent, such employee may be issued a probationary contract for a period of one year. If re-employed at the end of this probationary contract, the employee shall be issued a continuing contract. This probationary contract provision shall supersede and replace the extended limited contract procedures contained in Ohio Revised Code §3319.11(c).
