What has to happen to remove a teacher's tenure, and can it be done?

it is almost impossible if they have tenure.  You can give her bad evaluations at the end of the semester but that usually only works before they get tenure.  You can go to the dean but then if she is not fired you run the risk of her knowing who went to who and if you have to have her class again you are more screwed then you were before

I agree with your mother.  If your teacher is out to get you there is very little that you can do about it.  Go to the principal and say that you have a personality clash with the teacher and would prefer to be moved to another class.  There are laws that prohibit him from discussing this request with the teacher so from a technical standpoint you should be able to push the request through without the teacher ever knowing how or why it was done.  Then the only issue you will face is whether you are put into a class that has a teacher that is influenced by the first teacher.\n\nTeachers can find flaws when there are not any.  I should know.  I'm a teacher!\n\nYou could also try talking to her about her grading system and see if she can justify the grades.  If not then you definitely have a motive for placement in a different class.

I don't know how long faculty lasts, nor am I sure of all the factors that go into faculty retention.\n\nIn fact you whole line of questioning has me thrown for a loop. What exactly is it that you want to know?\n\nAt any rate......don't sweat the Latin

To be honest, you would be better off to get through the quarter and forget about it unless the teacher is doing something illegal.\n\nIf you try and "frame" the teacher as one genious proposed, you may end up in a huge lawsuit in which you and your parents could get taken to the cleaners (not to mention expelled from school and a nice ding on your record).\n\nIf the teacher is doing something illegal, then you need to speak to your parents and the administrators.

Any organization has records and bylaws which are filed with the state or the responsible agency in order to be legal and have the status that they do.\n\nIf there is a legal or corporate bylaw outlining the procedure or reasons to remove, then you have a case.  Then again, whoever in the school board that appoints or oversees the organization for who gets to be president, they can usually be the first resource.\n\nYou may even have a procedure to call an emergency meeting or get it on the adjenda to challege the president's reponse to your allegations in the organization.\n\nOr, the president may make time to meet with you and anyone else that is interested to discuss your views.

I can't agree with the previous poster, at least as to the law in California (and you there - the asker - you've got to tell people what state you're in when you ask these kinds of questions).\n\n\nSchools are built with public funds, and as such are public property.  They are controlled public property when school is in session (because the government has a compelling interest in keeping the school property controlled during school hours), but when students are not present, the school does not have the authority to tell you you cannot be there...conceivably on the very land your taxes helped to purchase and maintain.  \n\nSo the info I have for you is really more of a suggestion; contact the district office of the school you want to play ball at, and ask them.  If they tell you you can't be there during non-school hours, ask them for the law that says you can't.  Be polite, but be insistent.  Once you have that law (assuming it exists), read it for yourself and see what you think.  If you disagree that it says you can't be there, take it up with the school district again.\n\nNot so long ago I was faced with this exact situation...a school employee was complaining that people were on the campus, not doing anything illegal, and he wanted them removed.  I knew of no legal authority to make them do so, so they stayed on the campus (this was on a weekend).  I spoke to the District Superintendent a few days later and asked if he knew of any law that kept people off public school grounds during non-school hours.  He didn't.\n\nGood luck with this.  I hope if you get an answer from the school you'll come back here and contact me with it - I'd be interested to know what you find out.

You need to find out more about WHY she is being fired.  The fact that she is fun doesn't mean that you are learning what you are supposed to be learning and, as a teacher, there are things she is supposed to be doing that you may not know about.  For example, she may have been rude to other teachers or administrators, missed mandatory meetings, or failed to turn in required reports.  Once you get a better sense of WHY, you can better address those issues, if they have anything to do with you.  For example, if you are told that students have complained, a petition by students may help, but if it is because she doesn't work well with her colleagues, your saying she is fun in the classroom won't have any impact.

He didn't get fired...he is on leave.  He was from Overland high school and he taught a "Geograhy of People" class.\n\nHe has some high powered lawyer...although it might effect him if he isn't already tenured....look on CNN.com

the school board makes up the rules which are different in each district. \nBTW, if you're being harassed by your history teacher, report it to the police immediately. That's what i did, and I got 20 grand in lawsuit\n\ngood luck

No there is not, tell them to stop or else, what they are doing is called harassment and they could get in some serious trouble for it, they can even get into juvy, if it doesn't stop tell a teacher

It's very unlikely that the board has its own website.  If it does it should be linked from your school's website.  You don't mention at all what "issues" you are referring to.  If this is something that may involve a violation of law, your best bet is to have an attorney contact the school administrators.  If it's not something that warrants a lawsuit, once you've exhausted the entire chain of command (up through the superintendent), you next step would be to call the board president and ask to be placed on the agenda for their next meeting.  All board meetings are public, and at the very least the public must be afforded an opportunity to express their views.\n\nHave you attempted to resolve this with the teacher yourself?  Unless it is actually a legal issue (in which case you should have gone straight to your lawyer), you'll almost certainly make more progress by dealing with it directly rather than going around the teacher to people who really don't know the exact situation.

There are no websites that have that info due to privacy issues. Your best bet is to check local papers or try to contact a parent within the ditrict the teacher was fired from. \n\nDistricts do not usually tell the "Next"  district why they fired the employee. They are just usually happy to get them out of their establishment. Not a happy or healthy situation for our students.

Kids usually get away with stuff like that, unless they accused a teacher.  If it is proven that they falsely accuse a teacher, they will get all kinds of hell from the school, including at least a suspension.

A letter notifying a non-tenured teacher that they might not recieve a contract for the following school year.

I cannot answer this definitively, but I believe teachers report this sort of thing to the state Social Services department.  There may be a web site or at least phone numbers online you can check into.

I guess I can assume you aren't unionized.  If you are speak to your union rep.  If not I'm sure you could find a lawyer that can help you by looking in the phone book.  Or, maybe you could ask one of the teachers thats been working at the school for a long time if they know of someone you could speak to.
