Section 16-24-6

Transfer of teacher - Contesting; hearing.

After receiving notice of the employing board's intention to effect a transfer, the teacher receiving such notice may obtain a hearing before the employing board by filing a written demand for such hearing within 15 days after the receipt of such notice. If the teacher does not file such demand within 15 days after receipt of the notice to transfer, then the transfer shall be final. If the teacher does file a demand for a hearing before the board, the board shall hold such hearing within 15 days after receipt of the teacher's demand for such hearing. At least five days prior to the hearing the board shall furnish to the teacher by mailing by United States registered or certified mail with postage prepaid thereon to said teacher's last known address the time and place of said hearing and the reasons for the proposed transfer. The procedure at such hearing and the responsibility of the board subsequent to such hearing and the rights of the teacher and the board at such hearing shall be the same as are provided for a contested hearing for cancellation of the teacher's contract as hereinafter set out in Section 16-24-9.
