(2) The term of an alternative teacher contract shall be for one or two years; except that an employing school district, nonpublic school, or charter school may extend a one-year alternative teacher contract for only one additional year based on written evidence of unforeseen circumstances that prevent the alternative teacher from completing the one-year alternative teacher program in one year and the expectation of the alternative teacher's support team that he or she can complete the one-year alternative teacher program in one additional year.
(3) The provisions of this section do not apply to alternative teacher contracts entered into by nonpublic schools.
