Poudre School District R-1 and Poudre School District R-1 Board of Education v. Patricia Stanczyk and Poudre…

Summary

The court held that a school district may not require a teacher to waive statutory portability of nonprobationary status as a condition of employment. Because the district conditioned both the application and employment contract on such a waiver, the teacher's waiver was involuntary and invalid as a matter of law. The court affirmed the appellate judgment on different grounds and remanded for factual determinations concerning the teacher's documentation and the timing of her portability request.
