Fair process is not a privilege — it is the foundation of strong public schools.

Teachers need to be treated fairly and need a fair and consistent termination process that places binding decisions in the hands of neutral hearing officer to guarantee that terminations are grounded in facts, not politics or personal bias.  A fair termination process strengthens transparency, protects good educators from arbitrary discipline, and supports stability in our schools. When educators are treated fairly, students benefit from experienced teachers who can stay focused on their work and remain in the profession they love.
