Roger Taylor v. Clarksville Montgomery County School System, et al.

Case Number
M2009-02116-COA-R3-CV

In this action the School Board brought an action to dismiss plaintiff, a tenured teacher. Following a hearing, the Board of Education voted to suspend plaintiff without pay from November 27, 2007 to May 23, 2008, and required other sensitivity training and a probationary period. Plaintiff petitioned for a writ of certiorari to the Chancery Court, and the Chancellor affirmed the suspension on the grounds that plaintiff was guilty of conduct unbecoming a member of the teaching profession. On appeal we affirm the trial court's Judgment and remand with direction that the plaintiff be reinstated as a teacher with back pay from the time the appeal to Chancery Court ended.
