A high school teacher, not on tenure, was dismissed for writing a letter to the school board questioning the methods used by the school board and superintendent to raise money for the athletic programs.
In her letter, she also criticized the superintendent for attempting to keep teachers in the school district from expressing their opinions about an upcoming bond issue proposal. As a result of her letter, she was dismissed from her position as a math teacher.
She sued the board and the superintendent for violation of her right of free speech. Does a teacher have the right to speak against the superintendent and the school board?
