Dear TEACHER NAME:

After carefully considering the needs of our school, I have decided not to continue your probationary appointment as a teacher with the Leon County School District (District).  I am, therefore, recommending to the Superintendent that your appointment be terminated on DATE. 

This action is consistent with your current employment status with the District as a teacher holding a probationary contract under provisions of Florida Statute Section 1012.335.  The pertinent sections of Florida Statute Section 1012.335 read as follows:

Beginning July 1, 2011, each individual newly hired as instructional personnel by the district school board shall be awarded a probationary contract.

Probationary contract means an employment contract for a period of one (1) school year awarded to instructional personnel upon initial employment in a school district. Probationary contract employees may be dismissed without cause or may resign without breach of contract.

Thank you for your service to the District.

Sincerely,

PRINCIPAL NAME
Principal, School
