IL SB3981

Modifies teacher dismissal procedures during probationary periods by requiring employing boards to provide written notice with specific reasons for dismissal when dismissing a teacher at any point during the probationary period, rather than only in the final year.

Changes re-employment requirements for full-time teachers who do not receive written notice of dismissal at least 45 days before the end of a school term and whose performance does not require dismissal, making them eligible for re-employment for the following school term.

Applies only to school districts with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants.

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
