The 1973 legislature ex tended the "Fair Dismissal Law" to all Oregon school districts effective July 20. 1973. Prior to the extension of this law It had applied only to districts with an average daily membership In excess of 4.500 students. School districts with an average daily membership between 800 and 4,500 had been covered by a contract law. This contract law was applicable in the Morrow County School District and provided for a one-year con tract each of the first three years in which a teacher taught in the school district. If a teacher was rehired at the end of the three one-year contracts, he was rehired on the basis of the three-year contract. Every three years after that, specific action was taken by the board either to dismiss the teacher or to offer a new three-year contract. This process changes sig nificantly under the "Fair Dismissal Law" that now covers all Oregon school districts. Under the new law teachers still serve a probationary period of three years in which they will receive three one year contracts. However, if the teacher is rehired at the end of the three-year period he is on what is referred to as a permanent contract, or tenure. Under the permanent con tract, annual evaluations are still required, but no formal rehiring takes place as it now does at the expiration of the contract. Dismissal procedures are clearly outlined in the law and provide that teachers can only be dismissed for specific reasons as described in the law. The move for dismissal must be initiated by the superintendent and carried out under specific procedures. These procedures include Ringing out good tidings to folks out there.
