For those employees not grandfathered in, there are two categories of annual contracts.

A category B contract is a limited 2-year contract that may be offered at the sole discretion of the board of trustees who may choose to add an additional year to such a contract upon the expiration of the first year, resulting in a new 2-year contract. For employees whose contracts will not -- at the board's discretion -- be renewed, notice must be provided to the employee in writing by July 1.
