The board shall approve all contracts of employment for management employees that are for a term of more than one year. A management employee shall receive notice of the superintendent’s intention not to rehire the employee at least ninety days prior to the expiration of the contract. If the superintendent fails to notify a management employee, the employee shall be reemployed under a limited contract of one year at the same salary plus any authorized salary increases.
