services. Except as otherwise provided
in paragraph (b), during the probationary period any annual contract with any
teacher may or may not be renewed as the school board shall see fit. However, the board must give any such
teacher whose contract it declines to renew for the following school year
written notice to that effect before July 1.
If the teacher requests reasons for any nonrenewal of a teaching
contract, the board must give the teacher its reason in writing, including a
statement that appropriate supervision was furnished describing the nature and
the extent of such supervision furnished the teacher during the employment by
the board, within ten days after receiving such request. The school board may, after a hearing held

which period any annual contract with any teacher may, or may not, be renewed
as the school board, after consulting with the peer review committee charged
with evaluating the probationary teachers under subdivision 3, shall see
fit. The school site management team or
the school board if there is no school site management team, shall adopt a plan
for a written evaluation of teachers during the probationary period according

services. The school board may, during
such probationary period, discharge or demote a teacher for any of the causes
as specified in this code. A written
statement of the cause of such discharge or demotion shall be given to the
teacher by the school board at least 30 days before such removal or demotion
shall become effective, and the teacher so notified shall have no right of
appeal therefrom.
(b) A probationary teacher whose first three years of
consecutive employment are interrupted for active military service and who

chapter 145A and any related rules adopted under that chapter addressing the
enforcement of public health laws, the removal and abatement of public health
nuisances, and the remedies available to property owners or occupants apply to
this subdivision.
(e) Upon the proper removal and remediation of any property
used as a clandestine lab site, the contractor shall verify to the property
owner and the applicable authority that issued the order under paragraph (c)
that the work was completed according to the Department of Health's clandestine
drug labs general cleanup guidelines and best practices and that levels of
contamination have been reduced to levels set forth in the guidelines. The contractor shall provide the
verification to the property owner and the applicable authority within five
days from the completion of the remediation.
Following this, the applicable authority shall vacate its order.
If
a contractor issues a verification and the property was not remediated
according to the Department of Health's clandestine drug labs general cleanup
guidelines or the levels of contamination were not reduced to levels set forth
in the guidelines, the contractor is liable to the property owner for the
additional costs relating to the proper remediation of the property according

property owner. An action under this
paragraph must be commenced within six years from the date on which the

for the motor vehicle, the authority shall notify the registrar of motor
vehicles of this fact and in addition, forward the certificate of title to the
registrar. The authority shall also
notify the registrar when it vacates its order under paragraph (e).

paragraph (c) shall record with the county recorder or registrar of titles of
the county where the clandestine lab is located an affidavit containing the
name of the owner, a legal description of the property where the clandestine
lab was located, and a map drawn from available information showing the

site of a clandestine lab;
(2) the location, condition, and circumstances of the
clandestine lab, to the full extent known or reasonably ascertainable; and

If an inaccurate drawing or
description is filed, the authority, on request of the owner or another
interested person, shall file a supplemental affidavit with a corrected drawing
or description.
If the authority vacates its
order under paragraph (e), the authority shall record an affidavit that
contains the recording information of the above affidavit and states that the
order is vacated. Upon filing the
affidavit vacating the order, the affidavit and the affidavit filed under this
paragraph, together with the information set forth in the affidavits, cease to
constitute either actual or constructive notice.
(h) If proper removal and remediation has occurred on the
property, an interested party may record an affidavit indicating that this has
occurred. Upon filing the affidavit
described in this paragraph, the affidavit and the affidavit filed under
paragraph (g), together with the information set forth in the affidavits, cease
to constitute either actual or constructive notice. Failure to record an affidavit under this section does not affect
or prevent any transfer of ownership of the property.
(i) The county recorder or registrar of titles must record
all affidavits presented under paragraph (g) or (h) in a manner that assures
their disclosure in the ordinary course of a title search of the subject
property.

under paragraph (c). The information
maintained must include the name of the owner, the location of the property,
the extent of the contamination, the status of the removal and remediation work
on the property, and whether the order has been vacated. The administrator shall make this
information available to the public either upon request or by other means.
(l) Before signing an agreement to sell or transfer real
property, the seller or transferor must disclose in writing to the buyer or
transferee if, to the seller's or transferor's knowledge, methamphetamine
production has or has not occurred on the property. In the event that methamphetamine production has occurred on the
property, the disclosure shall include a statement to the buyer or transferee
that:
(1) there is or is not an order issued on the property as
described in paragraph (c);
(2) whether or not any orders issued against the property as
described in paragraph (c) have been vacated as described in paragraph (i); or
(3) if there was no order issued against the property and
the seller or transferor is aware that methamphetamine production has occurred
on the property, the seller or transferor shall disclose the status of removal
and remediation on the property.
Unless the buyer or transferee and seller or transferor
agree to the contrary in writing before the closing of the sale, a seller or
transferor who fails to disclose, to the best of their knowledge, at the time
of the sale any of the facts required above, and who knew or had reason to know
of methamphetamine production on the property, is liable to the buyer or
transferee for costs relating to remediation of the property according to the
Department of Health's clandestine drug labs general cleanup guidelines and
best practices and that levels of contamination have been reduced to levels set
forth in the guidelines and for reasonable attorney fees for collection of
