| IN RE: | SB912 by West (Relating to temporary modification under certain circumstances of procedures authorized for the nonrenewal of public school teacher term contracts.), As Introduced |
The bill would provide temporary measures related to the process by which school districts conduct hearings associated with nonrenewal of a term contract. The provisions would extend the period of time during which an employee could request a hearing from 15 to 30 days after receiving the notice of nonrenewal. The bill would also authorize school districts to appoint qualified designees to conduct such hearings and make recommendations to local boards of trustees concerning contract renewal or nonrenewal. The provisions of the bill would expire December 31, 2011. The bill's provisions would not be expected to alter the number of hearings that are requested. The temporary change in procedures would not be anticipated to significantly affect the level of local costs associated with the hearings that may be requested during this time period.
