Secondary school administrators considering the termination of an employee prior to the expiration of contract are offered several suggestions. These are: have a good evaluation system in place; follow all phases of the evaluation system; document all conferences, observations, and other encounters; alert the superintendent early in the process; keep the superintendent informed; make arrangements for other administrators to observe and evaluate the potential terminee; alert the employee to the potential action; provide the employee with copies of all relevant evaluations; and allow the employee the opportunity to respond in writing. Administrators are also advised to know the laws regarding legal termination. (LP)
