Introduction
The purpose of this Employee Handbook is to provide information to employees that will help with questions and pave the way for a successful year. Not all district policies and procedures are included. Those that are have been summarized. Suggestions for additions and improvements to this handbook are welcome and may be sent to the Deputy Superintendent for Administration.
This handbook is neither a contract nor a substitute for the official district policy manual. Nor is it
intended to alter the at-will status of noncontract employees in any way. Rather, it is a guide to and a brief explanation of district policies. District policies and procedures can change at any time; these changes shall supersede any handbook provisions that are not compatible with the change. For more information, employees may refer to the policy codes that are associated with handbook topics, confer with their supervisor, or call the appropriate district office. Policy manuals are located in the Principal’s Office at each campus or the District’s Administrative Offices and are available for employee review during normal working hours.
The Mount Pleasant Independent School District’s website has a complete copy of school board policies. The District’s website is www.mpisd.net
