1996 SESSION
HB 619 Teacher resignations.
Introduced by: Anne G. Rhodes | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Teacher resignations. Allows local school boards to authorize the division superintendent to approve teacher resignations submitted after April 15. If the board has authorized the division superintendent to accept resignations, the superintendent must notify the board of the resignation and the superintendent's action. The board may, within one week, reverse the decision of the division superintendent. Under current law, this authority is reserved to the local board. Any teacher, whether employed for a probationary term or pursuant to a continuing contract, may resign with the approval of the school board. Two weeks' written notice, setting forth cause, is required. The school board may decline to release the teacher from the employment contract on the basis of "insufficient or unjustifiable cause"; subsequent breach of the employment contract by the teacher may result in disciplinary action, including license revocation, by the Board of Education. The April 15 date designated for contract renewal notices and resignations is ostensibly tied to local budget development and approvals.
