or certified mail, written notice of the filing of the recommendation and the
date, time and location of the next regularly scheduled meeting of the board at
which the recommendation to dismiss the employee will be considered; or
(b) If the superintendent does not intend to

by registered or certified mail, written notice that dismissal of the employee
will not be recommended to the board and that no further action will be taken
against the employee.
