Board approves non‑renewal resolutions for probationary teachers under Minnesota statutes
Summary
The Worthington school board approved resolutions to non‑renew several probationary teacher contracts, citing staffing needs, licensure and performance; the action was taken under Minnesota Statutes 122A.40 and 122A.41 after roll‑call vote.
The Worthington Public School District school board voted to approve resolutions to terminate or not renew several probationary teacher contracts as presented by administration under Minnesota Statutes 122A.40 and 122A.41.
Carmen explained the non‑renewals are statutory options for probationary teachers and follow administrative evaluation, staffing needs and licensing considerations. The list presented included several probationary staff and three late additions the board added to the motion.
A board member declared a personal conflict and said they would abstain from the vote; the board proceeded with a roll‑call. Miss Dudley, Miss Agard, Miss Shudy, Miss Mills, Mr. Parish and Mr. Woodboom recorded “I” votes on the roll call and the motion passed.
Motion and vote: The board moved to approve the termination and non‑renewal resolutions with the additions; the motion passed following roll‑call votes.
What’s next: Administration will follow statutory notice procedures. The board did not provide additional personnel details in open session beyond the statutory bases referenced; the administration noted evaluation, staffing and licensure as drivers of the recommendations.
