8.1.1. Teacher Resignation(s)
Rationale:
Executive Summary:
February 25, 2021: I received a letter from Mrs. Edith Bauer indicating her intent to retire at the end of the 2020-2021 school year. Mrs. Bauer has been with the district for 24 years and has been a very influential part of the lives of so many SEM students. Mrs. Bauer will be completing her contract in good faith and has no contractual obligations to return to the district. I personally believe Mrs. Bauer has been a fine teacher and a great advocate for students.
