Case: Terminated for insubordination
Even though a school district has a policy that mandates all male teachers must wear ties, a male kindergarten teacher repeatedly violates that policy over the course of his career claiming that dressing formally restricts effective teaching with small children. 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!)
If the school district has a record of repeated incidents and consequences given then yes they have a right to terminate this teacher. The teacher should appeal to make sure the reason he is being terminated is valid and if proper protocol was followed. |

| Comments: Dress codes are required not optional, however I think it depends on if this was normal for the teacher as well without consequences in the past then something is amiss as well. |

| Comments: If it is the school's policy and he repeatedly breaks this policy, then they do have the right to terminate his employment. Given that he has worked for 15 years and likely has tenure, he does have the right to appeal with the argument that the policy prohibited him from completing his job in a successful way. |

| Comments: I don't think this is the correct solution to the problem. It doesn't make sense to be terminated after 15 years due to a minor dress code violation. |

| Comments: How can you be sure that the termination was over the tie? You can't. Besides, policy is policy. You can't do for one and not the others. |
