Teacher Discipline/Termination


Although many teachers have a legal interest in continued employment, schools and parents have clear interests in the protection and education of students. If a teacher fails or refuses to fulfill teaching responsibilities, there must be consequences. Therefore, Spencer Fane’s Education Law attorneys help school districts take appropriate remedial measures within constitutional bounds. We assist in the informal discipline of a teacher, a formal termination or non-renewal of a teacher, or the revocation of a teacher’s certificate.
