Action Summary Chapter 771 (House Bill 1550) of the 2023 Acts of Assembly allows a teacher licensed by the Board of Education or through an alternative pathway and employed by a local school board to petition the circuit court in the jurisdiction of the local department for a trial de novo, by judge or jury, within 30 days of the appellant’s receipt of the state hearing officer’s decision.
