Discipline for resigning without providing required notice

(1)

Upon notice from a district school board of the resignation of a person who is licensed by or registered with the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission, the commission may discipline the person if the person entered into a written contract to work in a public school and resigned the position without first providing 60 days’ written notice, or the notice required in the applicable collective bargaining agreement, to the district superintendent or the school board.

In disciplining a person as provided under this section, the commission shall follow the procedure set forth in ORS 342.175 (Grounds for discipline) (4), 342.176 (Complaint process) and 342.177 (Hearing and decision on charges). [Formerly 342.645; 1975 c.258 §1; 2009 c.706 §1]

Notes of Decisions
