Common use of Contract Sequence Clause in Contracts

Contract Sequence. a. The initial employment contract of a bargaining unit member shall be a one-year limited contract. b. Thereafter, if the bargaining unit member is not eligible for continuing contract status and is re-employed at the expiration of an expiring limited contract, the successor contract shall be for a term as follows: ● First renewal - One-year contract ● Second renewal - Two-year contract ● Third renewal - Three-year contract ● Fourth renewal - Five-year contract c. Based upon the bargaining unit member's job as documented by both formal and informal evaluations, the Board in its discretion may interrupt the above sequence and issue either a one-year limited contract or a limited contract of lesser duration than that of a previous contract. When the Board exercises its discretion as provided in this subpart, the bargaining unit member may request written reasons from the Superintendent. d. Upon request, the bargaining unit member will be given an opportunity to address the Board of Education in executive session solely to state the reason(s) he/she disagrees with the determination to interrupt the contract sequence in this Article. e. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the Board's discretion to interrupt contract sequence.
