Century Public Academy, County of Bernalillo, New Mexico.
2. The administrator shall during the term of her employment faithfully perform the
duties pertaining to her position, administer the duties assigned by the GC of 21 st

3. This contract and the parties hereto are and shall continue to be subject to
applicable laws of the state of New Mexico and the rules and regulations of the
department and governance council as they may exist. This contract may be
canceled by the GC for cause, including unsatisfactory work performance,
incompetence, insubordination, physical or mental inability to perform the
required duties or for any other good and just cause, provided, that any such
cancellation may be effected only in accordance with the New Mexico statutes
and any applicable rules and regulations of the department and the GC.
4. This contract may also be canceled by the GC for cause not personal to the
administrator when a reduction in personnel is required as a result of decreased
enrollment or a decrease or revision of educational programs or insufficient
legislative appropriation or authorization being made by the state and/or federal

statutes and any applicable rules and regulations of the department and local
board of education, provided there is no other position for which the administrator
is qualified, consistent with the academic necessities of the district.
5. The administrator shall give the GC thirty (30) calendar days written notice of
