Notice to Individual Teachers. Notice to affected teachers will be accomplished according to applicable Oklahoma law as outlined in UCTA 4050 in the section entitled “Procedure for Dismissal or Nonreemployment - Hearing and Appeal Rights.”
Notice to Individual Teachers. If, after considering the Superintendent’s recommendation, or if acting on its own volition, the board acts to non-reemploy one or more teachers, it shall cause written notice of that fact to be sent personally or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to each non-reemployed individual. The notice shall include a statement that the non-reemployment is due to a reduction-in-force. Any teacher whose teaching contract for the subsequent school year is not renewed due to a reduction-in-force shall have the right to a hearing with regard to such nonrenewal before the Board of Education. Such a hearing must be requested by the affected teacher within ten (10) days of receipt of the written notice of nonrenewal. Failure to request such hearing within the time period stated shall be deemed to be a waiver of any hearing rights in connection with the reduction- in-force and nonrenewal. At such hearing the Board shall hear only that evidence which bears on whether the reduction-in-force is: (1) being made in good faith and for the best interest of the School District and (2) pursuant to this policy. At the conclusion of any such hearing the Board shall vote to affirm, modify or reverse its reduc- tion-in-force and nonrenewal decision. The decision of the Board of Education shall be final.
Notice to Individual Teachers. Prior to recommending cancellation of any teacher’s contract, the Superintendent shall cause notice to be given to that teacher by personal delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the teacher’s current address as it appears in the school District’s records. It shall be the teacher’s responsibility to insure that a current address in on file with the school district at all times. It shall be the teacher’s responsibility to insure that the personnel file maintained at the School District’s administrative office contains current and accurate information regarding the teacher’s endorsement or endorsements. The notice shall include a general and brief statement of the conditions requiring the cancellation of the teacher's contract, a copy of the provisions of this Article, and a statement that the teacher has three (3) working days to exercise rights to displace.
