The Acadia Parish School Board shall consider and determine all promotions of employees based upon the recommendations of the Superintendent. All employees considered for promotion must possess the appropriate qualifications and/or certification issued the position to which promoted, unless waived by the Board.
ADVERTISEMENTS
When a position is to be filled by promotion, the Board shall require the vacancy to be advertised in the official journal. The Board shall also give notice of such intent to employ and positions to be filled in a letter to principals of all public schools in the district with a directive that the notice be prominently posted on a bulletin board within the school.
TEACHERS/CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES
Whenever a teacher is promoted by the School Board from a position of lower salary to one of higher salary, the Board and employee shall enter into a written contract of employment for a term of not less than two (2) years, except when such employment is for a temporary position, nor more than four (4) years, as stipulated by the contract.
Any teacher thus promoted and who enters into an employment contract as stated above, shall not gain permanent tenured status in the position to which promoted.
