After 15 years of teaching, he is terminated for insubordination. Does the district have the right to terminate his employment for his repeated violation of its dress code for teachers? What legal considerations need to be examined? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) To play devil's advocate to the posts that have already been submitted my question would be this: If they had the right to terminate his employment, why did it take FIFTEEN years to do it for insubordination if this was an ongoing problem? If there was insubordination, shouldn't it have been noted years before and the decision been made after year 1 or 2? If I were the administrator in this situation I think I would have taken those steps a long time prior.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this is very true, because how would it take that long to be terminated for insubordination.
