§ 21.103. PROBATIONARY CONTRACT: TERMINATION. (a) The
board of trustees of a school district may terminate the employment
of a teacher employed under a probationary contract at the end of
the contract period if in the board's judgment the best interests of
the district will be served by terminating the employment. The
board of trustees must give notice of its decision to terminate the
employment to the teacher not later than the 45th day before the
last day of instruction required under the contract. The board's
decision is final and may not be appealed.
(b) If the board of trustees fails to give the notice of its
decision to terminate the teacher's employment within the time
prescribed by Subsection (a), the board must employ the
probationary teacher in the same capacity under:
(1) a probationary contract for the following school
year, if the teacher has been employed by the district under a
probationary contract for less than three consecutive school years;
or
(2) a continuing or term contract, according to
district policy, if the teacher has been employed by the district
under a probationary contract for three consecutive school years.
