Please Note: This Handbook is not a contract, an amendment of any written employment contract, or a substitute for the official district policy nor is it intended to alter the at-will status of non-contract employees in any way. Rather, it is a guide to, and a brief explanation of district policies, administrative regulations, and procedures related to employment. These policies, administrative regulations, and procedures can change at any time; these changes shall supersede any handbook provisions that are not compatible with the change. In case of any inconsistency, the official district policy takes precedence
