individual who works at a conversion charter school (as defined in IC 20-24-1-5) for purposes of the individual's employment with the school
corporation that sponsored the conversion charter school.
(b) A contract between a school corporation and a teacher is void if
the teacher, at the time of signing the contract, is bound by a previous
contract to teach in a public school and the contract is entered into at
any time during the school year or less than fourteen (14) days before
the day on which the teacher must report for work at that school.
However, another contract may be signed by the teacher that will be
effective if the teacher:
(1) furnishes the principal a release by the first employer; or
(2) shows proof that thirty (30) days written notice was delivered
by the teacher to the first employer.
(c) A principal may request from a teacher, at the time of
contracting, a written statement as to whether the teacher has signed
another teaching contract. However, the teacher's failure to provide the
statement is not a cause for subsequently voiding the contract.
