The issues in this case are whether, as the district school board alleges, Respondent got into an altercation with a student which allegedly involved taunting, pushing, and yelling; and, if so, whether such contact or conduct constitutes just cause for Petitioner's dismissing Respondent from his position as a school teacher.Respondent's altercation with a student, which directly resulted from the student's disruptive, violent, and potentially dangerous conduct, did not provide just cause for dismissing Respondent from his position as a school teacher.
