USD 453 board finalizes termination of teacher contract
Summary
The board voted to terminate a teacher’s contract after a notice period passed without a request for hearing; the resolution directs the clerk to provide the signed resolution to the teacher in person or by mail.
The Board of Education of USD 453 approved a resolution finalizing the termination of a teacher’s contract after the teacher did not request a hearing within the notice period, the board said at its April meeting.
The resolution states that the board previously notified Jerome Briscoe Vallier (name spelled in meeting record as Jerome Risco Veillier/Briscovallier in places) of the district’s intent to terminate his contract and that the teacher was employed in the district since August 2018. The board’s notice advised the teacher he had 15 days to request a hearing; no written request for a hearing was received within that period, the resolution says.
Nut graf: Under the board’s resolution, because no hearing was requested, the board proceeded to adopt a final action terminating the teacher’s contract effective February 2025 and directed the clerk to provide a signed copy of the resolution to the teacher in person or by United States mail.
The resolution was read and moved for final action at the meeting. Board members voted in favor of the resolution; the meeting record notes the motion carried. The resolution text included the relevant dates, the teacher’s initial hire date (August 2018) and formal direction for the clerk to deliver the signed resolution to the affected employee.
The board did not discuss additional personnel details in open session.
