| TO: | Honorable Kent Grusendorf, Chair, House Committee on Public Education |
| FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB1023 by Eissler (Relating to the minimum number of days of service for public school teachers.), As Introduced |
The bill would void a school district employee's contract, if the employee holds a temporary or emergency credential and fails to obtain appropriate certification prior to the expiration of the temporary or emergency credential. Under this bill, if an employee's contract becomes void the school district would have the authority to terminate the employee, suspend the employee with or without pay, or retain the employee on an at-will basis at the same or reduced rate of pay. Also under this bill, if an employee's contract becomes void, the employee would no longer be entitled to a minimum salary as defined by the statutory minimum salary schedule for a certain position. A school district's decision at the time a contract becomes void could not be appealed.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2003 and would apply only to contracts entered into after that date.
