(A) A teacher who is reemployed by written notification pursuant to Section 59-25-410 shall before May eleventh notify the board of trustees in writing of his acceptance of the contract. Failure on the part of the teacher to notify the board of acceptance within the specified time limit is conclusive evidence of the teacher's rejection of the contract. (B) A teacher, receiving a notice that he will not be reemployed for the ensuing year, has the same notice and opportunity for a hearing provided in this article for a teacher dismissed for cause during the school year. Effect of Amendment 2016 Act No. 221, SECTION 2, in (A), substituted "before May eleventh" for "by April twenty-fifth first" and "is conclusive" for "shall be conclusive"; and in (B), substituted "has the same notice" for "shall have the same notice" and "in this article for a teacher" for "in subsequent sections for teachers".
