NON-RENEWAL OF CONTRACTS Clause Samples
The Non-Renewal of Contracts clause defines the process and conditions under which a contract will not be automatically extended beyond its original term. Typically, this clause requires one or both parties to provide advance written notice if they do not wish to renew the agreement, specifying the required notice period and the method of communication. Its core practical function is to ensure both parties have clarity and sufficient time to prepare for the end of the contractual relationship, thereby preventing automatic renewals and potential disputes over contract continuation.

The superintendent or his/her designee shall discuss the reason(s) for a recommendation for non-renewal with the teacher prior to official action of the Board of Education not to renew a limited contract.

NON-RENEWAL OF CONTRACTS. Section A. Reduction in Professional Staff Work Force
NON-RENEWAL OF CONTRACTS. Section A. Reduction in Force (Revised April, 2004) As a result of authority granted to the Board of Education by the Kansas Constitution and Kansas statutes, the Board has the responsibility of determining compositions of the professional staff necessary to implement and maintain educational programs of the District. From time to time, as a result of decreasing enrollment, limited financial resources, changes in educational programs, or other circumstances, it may be necessary to reduce the number of professional employees employed by the school District. A decision to reduce professional staff will, in all cases, remain with the sole discretion and judgement of the Board of Education. The Board of Education may retain any professional employee who it deems necessary to staff all programs of the District, including curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular programs of the District. It is the policy of this school District to use normal attrition of staff; i.e., resignations, retirement, leaves of absence, as the first means of achieving a reduction in professional staff. However, in certain cases, normal attrition may not be sufficient to achieve the necessary reduction of professional staff. In the event that further reduction of professional staff is necessary, it shall be accomplished in a fair and orderly manner as provided in this ARTICLE.
