Contracts of Employment
All full- or part-time licensed employees (excluding substitutes) shall execute a written employment contract each year. Such written employment contracts shall contain such provisions and be in such form as may be prescribed by the Board from time to time, but shall include the following provisions:
The period of employment.
The number of days in the work year.
The employee’s annual salary and the manner of its payment.
The contract constitutes the employee’s contract of employment with the District, and that it is subject to the laws of the state of Colorado, as the same may exist from time to time, and the bylaws, policies, rules and regulations of the Board of the District, and such changes therein as said Board may approve from time to time.
The Board shall have the authority and the right to change the salary prescribed in any such contract in accordance with any change in its adopted salary schedule approved from time to time as provided by law.
The employee shall furnish to the assistant superintendent of human resources by prescribed date such documents concerning employee’s identification, educational background, professional experience, credentials, licensure, and health as such assistant superintendent may require, and the employee’s compensation may be withheld until such documents are supplied in satisfactory form to the assistant superintendent of human resources.
The employee shall be required to demonstrate his/her acceptance of the District’s offer of employment by signing and returning the original copy of such contract to the assistant superintendent of human resources on or before the date indicated in such contract, and by reporting for duty on the first teacher contact day as established by the school where the employee is contracted. The employee’s employment contract shall become effective upon acceptance by the employee in the manner specified above and upon approval by the Board.
The employee agrees that acceptance of this contract by signing and reporting for duty constitutes a representation by employee that employee holds a current, valid Colorado license or letter of authorization and that this contract is conditioned upon employee’s holding such a license or letter during the period of this contract.
In addition to those duties specified in the written employment contract and those designated by the Superintendent or a designee, all employees shall be expected to perform such other and additional duties and services as are necessary or advisable for the education and welfare of the students and the implementation of the educational programs and activities of the District in the judgment of the Superintendent, or a designee.
Oath of Allegiance
All employees must take the Oath of Allegiance required by the State of Colorado.
Certification/Licensure
Any person who shall perform services as a teacher without possessing a valid teacher’s license or letter of authorization shall forfeit all claim to compensation out of District moneys for the time during which such services are performed without such certificate, letter, or written authorization.
Work Year for Instructional Employees
Should any teacher contract to work more than a required contract year, not including any orientations, disciplinary assignments, or state required induction programs for which the teacher is not compensated, he/she shall receive additional compensation at the per diem rate of his/her salary or as agreed upon per performance contract.
Work Year for Principals, Assistant Principals, and Other Less Than Twelve-Month Administrators
The length of the work year for principals, assistant principals, and other administrators who work less than twelve (12) months shall be established by the Superintendent.
Employees in these categories working the summer school session in excess of their contract year will be compensated at a rate as established by the Superintendent or designee.
