SB 935 - The act grants school districts the option of filing charges against a teacher for any matter other than the annulling of a written contract. Also, the act alters the process by which teachers' certificates of license may be revoked by adding a requirement for notice by first class mail to the last known address of the certificate holder. Further, the act modifies the provisions relating to appeal of a revocation by stating that a notice of intent to appeal must be filed within 30 days of the notice of revocation. Additionally, the act asserts that when charges are filed by or at the request of a local board of education, such charges must be signed by that district's chief administrative officer or board president. Lastly, the act allows contested cases (or other matters) involving certificate holders to be informally resolved through consent agreement, settlement, or surrender of license.
