FINAL BILL REPORT

SB 5487

This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative members in their deliberations. This analysis is not a part of the legislation nor does it constitute a statement of legislative intent.

Background: Under current law, employees, provisional employees, and certificated employees for whom it has been determined that there is probable cause or causes that the employment contract should not be renewed by the district for the next ensuing term must be notified in writing on or before May 15 preceding the commencement of such term of that determination; or if the Omnibus Appropriations Act has not passed the Legislature by May 15, then notification must be no later than June 1. The notification must specify the cause or causes for nonrenewal of contract and notice must be served upon the employee personally, or by certified or registered mail, or by leaving a copy of the notice at the place of usual abode with some person of suitable age and discretion who resides therein.

Administrators for whom it has been determined that it is in the best interests of the school district to transfer to a subordinate certificated position must be notified in writing by the superintendent on or before May 15 preceding the commencement of such term of that determination; or if the Omnibus Appropriations Act has not passed the Legislature by May 15, then notification must be no later than June 1. The notification must specify the reason or reasons for the transfer, identify the subordinate certificated position to which the administrator will be transferred, and notice must be served upon the administrator personally, or by certified or registered mail, or by leaving a copy of the notice at the place of usual abode with some person of suitable age and discretion who resides therein.
