The Wilkes County Board of Education recognizes the importance of establishing a clear contractual relationship with the superintendent. The Board of Education, upon selection of a candidate or upon reappointment of the incumbent superintendent, will enter with the superintendent into an explicit contractual agreement that meets, at a minimum, the requirements of state law.
The terms of the contract between the Board of Education and the superintendent will include general responsibilities, professional activities, evaluations, salary, vacation and leave arrangements, and other benefits. The contract also may specify performance expectations, including expectations related to Board of Education goals and objectives and State Board of Education standards for student success.
In the event that the superintendent’s contract is terminated, the Board of Education will take appropriate and necessary action to help ensure the continuous smooth operation of the school district.
