Nevertheless, because the nonrenewed employee retains certain procedural rights, the board must be sure to comply with the following statutory and regulatory requirements.
Before notifying a staff member of a nonrenewal, the CSA must notify the board and provide the board with the supporting reasons. However, because the above statute grants the CSA nonrenewal authority, the board must take affirmative action in order to overturn that nonrenewal. Additionally, the board may not act in an arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable fashion, meaning that if the board determines to reinstate a nonrenewed employee, it must have an objective reason.
Employees recommended for nonrenewal have the right to a written statement of the reasons for the nonrenewal as well as the right to an informal hearing before the board.

However, one right that probationary teachers do have is the right to be automatically renewed if the Board misses its timeline 10 days before the last day of instruction. If they miss the date, then contracts are automatically renewed.
The only way they can be broken after that is for good cause. Reduction in force is a good cause, but the teacher, even one on a new one-year probationary contact is entitled to a hearing at that point because the contract, is now being terminated in the middle of the contract.
Probationary teachers also have the right to file a grievance regarding a non-renewal. It is only an opportunity for you to say what you are going to say. The Board can decide for you or against you, or take no action at all. Unfortunately, in almost every case, the decision of the Board of Trustees is final and cannot be appealed to either the Commissioner of Education or the courts.
Even if you are on a probationary contract and are informed that your contract is going to be non-renewed, you should call your association or attorney. There still might be an opportunity for you to submit a resignation, which you would want to become effective the last day of your contract or prior to the beginning of the next school year. This may also keep a termination from becoming part of your record. Unlike teachers on probationary contracts, teachers on term contracts have the right to appeal to the Commissioner the decision reached by the Board of Trustees.
