§ 21.106. RETURN TO PROBATIONARY STATUS. (a) In lieu of
discharging a teacher employed under a continuing contract,
terminating a teacher employed under a term contract, or not
renewing a teacher's term contract, a school district may, with the
written consent of the teacher, return the teacher to probationary
contract status.
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (d), a teacher may
agree to be returned to probationary contract status only after
receiving written notice that the board of trustees of the school
district has proposed discharge, termination, or nonrenewal.
(c) A teacher returned to probationary contract status must
serve a new probationary contract period as provided by Section
21.102 as if the teacher were employed by the district for the first
time.
(d) A teacher may agree to be returned to probationary
contract status after receiving written notice of the
superintendent's intent to recommend discharge, termination, or
nonrenewal. Notice under this subsection must inform the teacher
of the school district's offer to return the teacher to
probationary contract status, the period during which the teacher
may consider the offer, and the teacher's right to seek counsel.
The district must provide the teacher at least three business days
after the date the teacher receives notice under this subsection to
agree to be returned to probationary contract status. This
subsection does not require a superintendent to provide notice of
an intent to recommend discharge, termination, or nonrenewal.
