| AL | Signed into law 05/2011 | P-12
Postsec. | Establishes the Students First Act of 2011. Establishes the purposes of this act. Provides definitions. Provides no action may be proposed or approved based upon the personal or political reasons of the employer, chief executive officer or governing board. Establishes processes and conditions for teachers to obtain and retain tenure, and for probationary classified employees to obtain and retain nonprobationary status. Provides that neither tenure nor nonprobationary status creates or confers any enforceable right or protected interest in or to a specific position, rank, work site or location, assignment, title, or rate of compensation within those categories of employment. Provides that neither tenured status or time in probationary service are transferable from one employer to another. Provides conditions and processes for the termination of probationary classified employees and probationary teachers. Provides conditions under which tenured teachers and nonprobationary classified employees may be terminated, and procedures for such termination. Provides for a hearing upon employee request. Provides procedures for an employee terminated following a hearing to obtain a review of an adverse decision.
Provides layoffs or other personnel actions that are unavoidable reductions in the workforce beyond normal attrition due to decreased student enrollment or shortage of revenues are not subject to challenge or review under this act. Provides conditions and processes for an employee's suspension for cause with or without pay. Provides employees may be transferred or reassigned at any time as the needs of the employer require to any position for which they are qualified. Permits a chief executive officer to reassign a teacher to any grade, position, or work location within the same school, or, for two-year institutions operated under the authority and control of the department of postsecondary education, to any teaching position or work location that is under the control and jurisdiction of the institution, as the needs of the employer require. Permits tenured teachers to be transferred within an agency or system to any grade or position outside of the school to which the teacher is assigned, subject to specified terms and conditions; establishes similar conditions for nonprobationary classified employees, including employees of two-year institutions operated by the department of postsecondary education. Establishes conditions under which probationary and tenured teachers and probationary and nonprobationary classified employees may be transferred to another position with lower compensation or a shorter term of employment. Provides that the employment of a teacher whose certificate is revoked by the state superintendent of education is summarily terminated. Provides that if a conviction resulting in the revocation of the certificate is overturned, the certificate must be immediately reinstated, and the employer must either place the employee in a position for which the employee holds appropriate certification or place the employee on paid administrative leave.
Prohibits a teacher from terminating his/her employment within 30 days of first day of the next school term, or for employees of two-year institutions operated by the department of postsecondary education, within 30 days of the fall semester. Provides for relief for an employee who has been denied a hearing before an employer. Permits an employer to grant an employee a one-year leave of absence for good cause without impairing the employee's tenured or nonprobationary status. Requires that leaves of absences for military service be as provided in Section 31-2-13.
Provides that all laws or parts of laws that conflict with this act are repealed, specifically portions of the Teacher Tenure Law, commencing with Section 16-24-1; the Fair Dismissal Act, commencing with Section 36-26-100; and Section 16-24B-7, Code of Alabama 1975, relating to teacher transfers.
