Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Notification of teacher employment by district for 2010-2011 school year

SECTION    1.    Notwithstanding Section 59-25-410, the boards of trustees of the several school districts shall decide and notify, in writing, the teachers, as defined in Section 59-1-130, in their employ concerning their employment for the 2010-2011 school year by May 15, 2010.

Teacher acceptance of reemployment by district for 2010-2011 school year

Failure on the part of the teacher to notify the board of acceptance within the specified time limit shall be conclusive evidence of the teacher's rejection of the contract.
