Revise teacher tenure appeals

Introduced in the Senate

June 21, 2011

Introduced by Sen. Roger Kahn (R-32)

To replace current procedures for appeals of teacher tenure decisions by school districts with a process involving arbitration by the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (instead of a quasi-judicial administrative law judge process), with final appeals to Ingham County circuit court rather than the state court of appeals.
