HB 3708

Abstract

Amends the Employment of Teachers Article of School Code. Provides that if a teacher is removed or dismissed as a result of a decision of a school board to decrease the number of teachers employed by the school board, a decision of a school board to discontinue some particular type of teaching service, or a reduction in the number of programs or positions in a special education joint agreement, then written notice must be mailed and given to the teacher no more than 10 business days following the approval of the budget for the fiscal year in which the honorable dismissal would take effect (instead of mailed and given at least 45 days before the end of the school term). Provides that if no budget for the next fiscal year has been approved by June 15 of the current fiscal year, then the school board shall fulfill the notification requirements by June 30 of the current fiscal year.
