Administrator representation

Administrator contracts can be non-renewed for any non-discriminatory reason. In other words, as long as an administrator’s contract is not non-renewed because of their sex, race, disability, religion, et al., the non-renewal is merely subject to certain rules. The rules for non-renewal include specific evaluation changes and deadlines and a written notice requirement by June 1st.

If an administrator receives written notice of non-renewal, an experienced attorney can consult with the administrator to determine if there is an opportunity to challenge the non-renewal or negotiate an alternative resolution.

If an administrator suspects non-renewal may be a possibility in the year their contract expires, the administrator should pay special attention to their interactions with administrators and keep detailed records of the same. This is because it is possible that a non-renewal may constitute evidence of discrimination or retaliation, which could provide the administrator with additional protections.
