As of September 24, 2012, the deadline for the notification of contract nonrenewals for teachers and all administrators, except superintendents and treasurers, has changed. SB 316, which became effective on September 24, 2012, requires districts to provide notice to teachers whose contracts will be nonrenewed by June 1 (RC 3319.11). Previously, districts were required to provide teachers notice by April 30. In addition, districts must provide notice to administrators, other than superintendents and treasurers, whose contracts will be nonrenewed by June 1 (RC 3319.02). The previous notification deadline for administrators, other than superintendents and treasurers, was March 31. The March 1 notification deadline for superintendents (RC 3319.01) and treasurers (RC 3313.22) whose contracts will be nonrenewed remains the same.
