Who is NOT responsible for entering into contracts with teachers?

The state education board does not engage in the direct process of entering into contracts with teachers. Typically, the authority to enter into contracts rests with local entities, such as school districts and individual schools, which are closer to the specific hiring and employment practices necessary for their operations. These local entities have the discretion and responsibility to negotiate contracts based on local policies and needs.

On the other hand, teachers themselves are not responsible for entering into contracts; rather, they enter into agreements proposed by their employers. Therefore, while the local school district and individual schools take on the role of negotiating and finalizing contracts, the state education board's role is more focused on oversight, policy-making, and ensuring compliance with state laws regarding education. This distinction clarifies why the state education board is not involved directly in teacher contracts.
