|
Description |
|
With the focus on educational reform and
improving student achievement, the issues of hiring, evaluating,
remediating and, when necessary, terminating personnel are critical
for Georgia administrators. Administrators must implement
numerous state and federal statutes, regulations, and requirements
which impact the employment relationship among boards of education,
superintendents, administrators, and teachers, all the while
honoring employees’ rights. The SCHOOL PERSONNEL - Legal
Issues & Practical Strategies Handbook is designed for Georgia
administrators who supervise, and make employment decisions about,
individuals employed by local boards of education, RESAs, and other
organizations.
