S.C. Code Ann. § 59-25-420

Teacher required to notify board of acceptance; opportunity for hearing if not reemployed

Applied in 3 court decisions — leading case Moore v. Bonner (1981)

Most recently applied in Barr v. Board of Trustees of Clarendon County School District No. 2 (August 1995)

1962 Code SECTION 21-362; 1974 (58) 2343; 2016 Act No. 221 (H.3560), SECTION 2, eff June 3, 2016.

(A) A teacher who is reemployed by written notification pursuant to Section 59-25-410 shall before May eleventh notify the board of trustees in writing of his acceptance of the contract. Failure on the part of the teacher to notify the board of acceptance within the specified time limit is conclusive evidence of the teacher's rejection of the contract.

(B) A teacher, receiving a notice that he will not be reemployed for the ensuing year, has the same notice and opportunity for a hearing provided in this article for a teacher dismissed for cause during the school year.
