The Superintendent is authorized by the Board of Education to accept, on its behalf, letters of resignation from NTC employees. A resignation may not be withdrawn after it has been accepted by the Superintendent and will be considered irrevocable from that date. Upon receipt of an employee’s resignation, the Superintendent shall provide the employee, in writing, a letter which acknowledges receipt of the employee’s resignation.

1. If the employee’s resignation is submitted prior to April 25 and is effective for the ensuing school year, the Superintendent’s written acknowledgement of the employee’s resignation shall serve as an acknowledgement of the employee’s decision to resign his or her employment for the next school year. The resignation shall be effective upon the Superintendent’s confirmation of its receipt.

2. If the employee’s resignation is submitted after April 25 for the next school year or during the school year for which the resignation is applicable, the Superintendent shall acknowledge receipt of the employee’s resignation, shall state whether the employee is released from employment, the effective date of the release, and conditions which must be satisfied, if any, prior to the employee’s release from employment.

3. Resignations approved by the Superintendent shall be included as a part of the Superintendent’s informational report to the Board at regular or special meetings of the Board.

4. In any instance in which the Superintendent, for any reason, fails to take action in response to the receipt of an employee’s resignation or declines to accept the employee’s resignation, the Board of Education may take any action concerning the resignation authorized by law. The Board may accept or decline to accept the resignation of a certified employee.
