It is almost impossible to terminate a tenured teacher in California. The decision is interesting in that it says, “why do non-teaching school employees have a much less protective termination process? Are they any less deserving of the property interest in their jobs?” The judge isn’t arguing that teachers shouldn’t get due process, just that they shouldn’t have a dismissal process that is so insanely overburdensome.
