High school principal appealed by certiorari a school board’s decision to terminate his employment in accordance with the Teacher Tenure Act.
The Court of Appeals held that:
- Board waived argument that principal was discharged because he did not have a valid employment contract, and
- Board failed to make specific findings to support its termination decision.
School board failed to make specific findings to support its decision to terminate high school principal’s employment during his probationary period, and thus remand was required to permit board to make additional findings that adequately explained the cause for termination, where board approved school district’s discharge recommendation but did not adopt the grounds upon which the recommendation was based and did not mention or consider any other permissible causes for discharge listed in the Teacher Tenure Act.
