Sec. 8. (a) This section does not apply to an 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.   IC 20-28-8 Chapter 8.
