Griffith v. Seattle School District No. 1
Court of Appeals of Washington
Decided December 27, 2011No. 66167-1-IPublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtAppelwick, J.
¶1 Teachers Griffith and Quarto refused to follow explicit direction from their principal to administer a federally-mandated test to six special education students. After each missed a key deadline, they asserted parental refusals as the reason. The school district suspended each teacher for 10 days without pay for insubordination. A hearing officer determined they refused to give the test on principle, not due to parental refusal. The hearing officer upheld the 10-day suspension. Finding no error, we affirm.
