BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 122A.41, subdivision 10, is amended to
read:

Subd. 10.

Decision, when rendered.

The hearing must be concluded and a decision
in writing, stating the grounds on which it is based, rendered within 25 days after giving of
such notice. Where the hearing is before a school board the teacher may be discharged
or demoted upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the board. If the
charges, or any of such, are found to be true, the board conducting the hearing must
discharge, demote, or suspend the teacher, as seems to be for the best interest of the school.
deleted text begin A teacher must not be discharged for either of the causes specified in subdivision 6, clause
(3), except during the school year, and then only upon charges filed at least four months
before the close of the school sessions of such school year.
