What does it take to get a public school teacher fired?
Someone posted a link here a few weeks ago that contained a flow-chart describing all the steps. Damn near impossible to fire a teacher.
I can only speak from my state's perspective...A teacher has a three-year probationary period in which he/she can be fired for cause if parents go to the school administration with enough complaints. After three years the teacher is tenured and harder to fire...it takes documented instances of incompetence, abuse, etc.
