Board notes statutory requirement to terminate long-term substitute contracts
Summary
Administration presented a resolution to terminate long-term and limited contract substitute teacher agreements at the end of the school year, citing Minnesota statutory requirements and the need to avoid dual-staffing if regular teachers return from leave.
Administrators presented a resolution to non-renew long-term and limited contract substitute teacher contracts at the conclusion of the school year, noting that Minnesota statutes require these contracts be terminated annually. The district defined a long-term substitute as a teacher who worked part or all of the school year in place of a regular teacher who holds return rights to that position.
Materials presented to the Board explained that formally terminating substitute contracts prevents the district from dual-staffing a single position should a returning regular teacher exercise return rights. The resolution and explanatory language were provided to the Board for review in the work session; no formal vote appears in the work session minutes.
