Liquidated Damages
< Back
Any teacher desiring release from an individual teaching contract may make this written request to the Superintendent. Resignations will not be accepted after July 1 except for extenuating circumstances. Should a teacher breach his/her individual teaching contract or any provision thereof, liquidated damages in the respective amount set forth below shall be either paid or forfeited by the teacher at the option of the Board. Teachers working less than a 1.0 FTE will have liquidated damages pro-rated based on their individual FTE.
-
June 16 – June 30: liquidated damages in the amount of $500.00
-
July 1 – July 15: liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000.00
-
July 16 – up to the first contracted teacher day: liquidated damages in the amount of $2,000.00
-
First contracted teacher day and after: liquidated damages in the amount of $3,000.00
The appropriate amount of liquidated damages, pursuant to the above, may be deducted from the teacher’s last paycheck.
The Board in its discretion may waive the liquidated damages for the following reasons:
-
Employment transfer of spouse;
-
Illness of employee which prevents the employee from the completion of his/her contract;
-
Other reasons as determined by the Board of Education.
In the event the District chooses to waive the liquidated damages, the District shall return any damages submitted with the resignation request to the employee.
Any employee involuntarily called into service by the United States government for military duty shall not be assessed liquidated damages under this Section.
