The Board may employ the Superintendent at will, or by contract, for a term not to exceed five years. Education Code 11.201(b); 30.022(d); 30.024(b)
If the Superintendent is employed by contract, the contract of employment with the School creates a property interest in the position only for the period of time stated in the contract.
Such a contract creates no property interest of any kind beyond the period of time stated in the contract. Perry v. Sindermann, 92 S. Ct. 2694 (1972); Board of Regents of State Colleges v. Roth, 92 S. Ct. 2701 (1972)
If the Superintendent is employed at will, the School has no duty to the Superintendent regarding continuation of employment. (See also Policy DCD.)
