6. The boards of education may, by contract, appoint a shared superintendent or school business administrator for a term of not less than three nor more than five years and expiring July 1, by the recorded roll call majority vote of the membership of each board. At the conclusion of the term of the initial contract or of any subsequent contract, the superintendent or business administrator shall be deemed reappointed for another contracted term of the same duration as the previous contract unless either:
a. The boards shall together agree to reappoint the person by contract for a different term, which term shall not be less than three nor more than five years in which event reappointments thereafter shall be deemed for the new term unless a different term is again specified; or
b. At least one year prior to the expiration of the first or any subsequent contract a board shall notify the superintendent or business administrator and the other board or boards in writing that the person will not be reappointed at the end of the current term, in which event the person's employment shall cease at the expiration of that term. The contract between the boards shall also be terminated. However, the termination shall not preclude any board from reemploying the superintendent or business administrator on an individual basis.
If a contract between boards of education is terminated because the superintendent or business administrator is not reappointed at the end of the term of employment, and the boards involved in the previous sharing relationship determine to enter into a new contract, the boards shall not be required to prepare and submit a report or receive the approval of the Commissioner of Education if the new contract is for the same shared position for which the boards previously received approval.
