5.3.4. Certified Staff Contract Renewal
Speaker(s):
Pat Nauroth
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Rationale:
A board vote that names the individuals to be renewed is that it can cause more mischief than good. If the motion does not name all teachers, it identifies those who may be considered for nonrenewal or termination. The affected teachers would argue that this practice violates the statutory requirement that the proposed amendment, nonrenewal or termination of a teacher’s contract remain confidential prior to the scheduling of a hearing (§§ 79-827(3) and 79-828(6)). I suggest the following method as a way to avoid the problems created by the board’s discussing teacher performance and contract renewal in closed session.
