In my state, a "tenured" teacher who is dismissed or contract
not renewed can file an appeal with a state board, and a
hearing will be held. This is stated on the letter
dismissing the teacher. However, the appeal must be filed
within 10 days, I believe. Usually the teacher's
association will fund a lawyer. I know that this is not the
case in every state, so teachers, if you are dismissed from
your job, IMMEDIATELY seek guidance from your teacher's
association rep. For the record - I know this because this
happened to me...and I won my job back with back pay. I
have since found a teaching position in a better school
district with better pay in the same state. On
