Common use of Contract Issuance Clause in Contracts

Contract Issuance. Except as otherwise provided by this agreement, teachers shall be issued individual teaching contracts on or before April 30 or 10 days after a successor agreement is reached, but no later than June 30; teachers shall accept or reject such offers of employment by returning signed contracts not later than fourteen (14) days after the contract’s issuance. If an individual teaching contract presented for signature to a teacher contains a factual and material error the Board will attempt to correct the error expeditiously. The teacher will be allowed fourteen (14) days after receipt of the corrected contract to sign and return the contract. Teachers will be allowed to request from the Superintendent a total of three weeks to turn in a signed contract. At the request of an individual teacher for whom a three-week response creates a hardship, the Superintendent in his sole discretion may allow, for good cause, additional response time.
