Description
Public schools; teacher grievance procedures. Gives a teacher who has been recommended for dismissal by the superintendent the option of requesting a hearing before a three person fact-finding panel consisting of one person chosen by the teacher, one person chosen by the superintendent, and one impartial third member, thus restoring this option for a fact-finding panel that was eliminated by act of assembly in 2013. The fact-finding panel conducts a hearing and presents findings of fact and recommendations to the full school board for a decision regarding the teacher's dismissal. The bill also requires the full school board to conduct a further hearing when its decision is at variance with the recommendation of the fact-finding panel. Read the Bill »
