Asked in GA May 19, 2022 ,  0 answers Visitors: 2
I am a veteran teacher in GA. I have taught 6 years in Fulton County and 1 year in Marietta City Schools. I was told yesterday by my principal and HR that my contract with Marietta City is not being renewed. I have never had a performance issue (TKES evaluations all proficient). They mentioned it's due to performance, the fact they recieved reference requests from other districts and they say I am not a good fit . Is this legal? What are my rights? They told me they are making a reccomendation to the board on Friday and will move forth with it. My other option is to resign by Friday

Pursuant to OCGA 20-2-942(a)(4) a veteran teacher (4 years with same school district) can regain tenure rights after accepting a second consecutive contract with a new school district. It appears as if you are not "tenured" with Marietta City Schools, which means they can non-renew your contract for any reason (or no reason at all). It may be best to resign before you are non-renewed. Contact an education law attorney for more information/advice.
