§ 87671 Employee Dismissal Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •A school worker can be fired or punished only for certain bad reasons listed in another law (Section 87732).
  • •Before firing, the boss must check the worker’s past job reviews to see if the bad thing happened before.
  • •The big school board must get the boss’s opinion and, if it’s a college, the college president’s opinion too.
  • •The school board must talk about it in an official meeting before deciding.

Example

A teacher keeps showing up late to class and ignores warnings.

The school boss looks at the teacher’s old reviews that show the late arrivals. The boss tells the school board, and they all talk about it in a meeting before voting to fire the teacher.
