§16-24C-11. Termination of employment by teacher.
-
No tenured teacher within the contemplation of subdivision (1) of Section 16-24C-4 shall be permitted to terminate his or her employment within 30 calendar days before the first day of the next school term for students, or, for employees of two-year institutions operated under the authority and control of the Department of Postsecondary Education, within 30 calendar days before the commencement of the fall academic semester, unless such termination is mutually agreed upon. Any such employee may terminate his or her employment at any other time by giving five days' written notice to the president of a two-year educational institution or to the employing board of education. Any teacher terminating his or her employment in violation of this section is guilty of unprofessional conduct, and the State Superintendent of Education may revoke or suspend the certificate of such teacher.
