Reminder: Early Notification Incentive Again Offered to Certified Union & Management Staff

Last year, Heartland AEA filled 60 vacancies in the Certified Union and Management staff employee groups. It has been to the Agency’s advantage to enter the recruitment cycle as early as possible.  




For 2019-20, the Heartland AEA Board of Directors has again approved an Early Notification Incentive for staff who have a signed contract and who notify Heartland AEA of their intent to not renew their contract for the 2020-21 school year by Dec. 6, 2019. Details are listed below.



Early Notification Incentive Process & Requirements  

• Certified Union and Management staff who do not plan to return to Heartland AEA for the 2020-21 school year must submit early notification letters of resignation that are effective at the end of the 2019-20 work year.  
• Early notification letters must be received in the Human Resources Department by 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 6, 2019.  
• Heartland AEA’s Board of Directors acts on early notification letters no later than the regular meeting on Dec. 10, 2019.  
• Departing staff must fulfill their individual employment contract obligations for the 2019-20 work year.  

Early Notification Incentive  

• A $1,500 early notification incentive will be paid on June 30, 2020, to employees fulfilling these requirements.  

If you have any questions about the early notification incentive, contact Nia Chiaramonte, Director of Human Resources, at ext. 14534.
