AI Summary

  • Modifies the grounds for discharge or demotion of teachers on continuing tenure under Michigan's tenure law (1937 PA 4).

  • Establishes two different standards depending on effective date: before the amendment, teachers can only be discharged for reasons that are "not arbitrary or capricious"; after the amendment, discharge is only permitted for "reasonable and just cause."

  • Maintains existing provisions allowing school boards to establish reasonable retirement policies that apply equally to all eligible teachers and to continue teacher contracts on a year-to-year basis beyond retirement age.

  • Takes effect only if Senate Bill No. 901 of the 101st Legislature is enacted into law (tie-bar provision).
