Evaluation

Any person holding a coaching permit who is employed by the Board to coach for a sport season shall be evaluated by his/her immediate supervisor on an annual basis. A copy of such evaluation shall be provided to the athletic coach.

Appeal of Termination or Non-Renewal

A decision to terminate or decline to renew the contract of an athletic coach is made by the Superintendent upon recommendation of the Athletic Director and Principal. This decision shall be communicated to any coach who has served in the same coaching position for three or more consecutive years no later than ninety (90) days after the completion of the sport season covered by the contract. Such coach may appeal such decision in the following manner:

1) Within seven (7) days of receiving the notice of termination or non-
renewal, the coach may make a written request for a statement of the
reasons for such decision. The coach shall be given a statement of reasons within the succeeding seven (7) days.

2) The coach may request an opportunity to appeal such decision to the Board. This request must be made by the coach in writing within twenty (20) days of receiving notice of the termination or non-renewal.

Nothing shall prohibit the Board from terminating a coaching contract at any time for reasons of moral misconduct, insubordination, violation of the rules of the Board or because a sport has been discontinued.
