Any district employee who desires to resign his/her position shall submit, in writing, a letter of resignation which indicates the date which the employee intends as his/her last day at work. The Governing Board encourages employees to provide advance notice that is appropriate for the position they hold.
The written resignation of any employee shall become effective when it is formally approved by the Board and may not thereafter be withdrawn by the employee. This written resignation shall be submitted to the Board in care of the Superintendent or designee. The Board shall fix the date when the resignation takes effect.
The effective date of the resignation shall be a date not later than the close of the school year during which the resignation is received. However, an employee and the Board may agree that a resignation will be accepted at a mutually agreed upon date not later than 2 years beyond the close of the school year during which the resignation is received by the Board. (Education Code 44930, 45201)
(cf. 4117.7 - Employment Status Reports)
If a certificated employee leaves the employ of the district during the school year without obtaining acceptance of his/her resignation, or if he/she leaves before the effective date of the resignation, the Superintendent or designee shall report this fact, with supporting evidence, to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
