File:  GDQB - Resignation of Support Staff

An employee may terminate employment by resignation.  Two weeks notice shall be required for the employee to resign in good standing.

The Summit School Board delegates its authority to accept resignations and to negotiate the length of notice with an employee to the superintendent.  The superintendent will report on the resignations he/she has accepted to the Board in a timely manner.

If an employee resigns as a result of an allegation of unlawful behavior involving a child, including unlawful sexual behavior, which is supported by a preponderance of evidence, the superintendent is delegated the responsibility for immediately notifying the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and for providing any information requested by the department concerning the circumstances of the resignation.  The District also shall notify the employee that information concerning his/her resignation is being forwarded to CDE unless such notice would conflict with the confidentiality requirements of the Child Protection Act.
