If you are let go: a checklist for Lee County teachers

Non-renewed, terminated, laid off, or asked to resign? What to ask for and what to check before you sign anything: which contract you hold, the documents to request in writing, final pay, when health coverage ends, and every deadline. Free for Lee County teachers with the no-cost membership.

If you are a Lee County teacher who has been told you are being non-renewed, terminated, laid off, or asked to resign, this checklist lists what to ask for and what to check before you sign anything. It is written for Florida public school teachers employed by the School District of Lee County.

This is not legal advice. It is general information to help you ask the right questions. Deadlines can be short and every situation is different, so contact your union representative and, if needed, an employment attorney as soon as possible.

Slow down: you rarely have to sign or decide anything in the meeting where you are told.

The checklist is free, and so is the membership. Teachers join at no cost, on the honor system, and it takes about thirty seconds.
