School Board enacted new policy, placing a "Do Not Hire" designation on any probationary teacher who was not renewed twice, or who had been given unsatisfactory performance rating. Probationary teachers have no specific right to be retained by a school board, but may be dismissed in a school board’s discretion; school board has exclusive right to determine its hiring guidelines. School board is not obligated to arbitrate grievances as to new policy.(GARMAN, THOMAS, KARMEIER, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring; KILBRIDE, dissenting.)
