The Constitutional Rights of Probationary Teachers: Improper Assessment May Be Costly to School Boards.

Henderson, Donald H.

Journal of Law and Education, v14 n1 p1-21 Jan 1985

Litigation by nontenured teachers in contract nonrenewal disputes usually involves claims of violation of speech, liberty, contractual, or privacy rights. School boards should be certain that the cause for nonrenewal of a probationary teacher's contract is not in violation of a protected right. (MLF)
