4201 - "At Will" Employees

Adoption Date: 12/01/2014

Revision History: Reviewed 12/14/2020

All non-certificated employees and non-certificated assignments shall be employed on an "at will" basis. Non-certificated employees shall have no property right in continued employment and need not be accorded a hearing or any other procedural or substantive due process, prior to termination of their employment.

Nothing in board policy, administrative regulations or practices, employee handbooks, or in any evaluation instrument or in the appraisal process or program for non-certificated employees shall be or is intended to create or be a contract or part of a contract with a non-certificated employee which shall in any way be construed to be contrary to the "at will" employment of non-certificated employees. No administrator or other employee of the school district has any authority to enter into any agreement of employment with a non-certificated employee for any specific period of time or to make any agreement contrary to an at-will employment relationship.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the District will comply with all negotiated agreements that may be inconsistent with this policy.
