Devers ISD’s Board Properly Based Teacher’s Nonrenewal on “Anonymous” Statements by Students and Parents

Ruling: A teacher was not entitled to learn the identities of the students and parents whose complaints against her formed the basis of her school board nonrenewing her term contract. That’s because the school board decided to hold the teacher’s nonrenewal hearing itself instead of assigning it to an independent hearing examiner. Sandi Lynne Zbranek v. Devers ISD, No. 046-R2-06-2021. Signed Aug. 7 (Commissioner Morath)
