Drummond v. Todd County Board of Education

OPINION

ACREE, Judge:

This case involves the discharge of a tenured teacher employed by the Todd County Board of Education (school board). The discharge followed an administrative ruling that the teacher had engaged in sexual contact with two students, constituting conduct unbecoming a teacher. On appeal, we are asked to consider whether the hearing officer’s procedural and evi-dentiary rulings were flawed and whether the tribunal’s factual conclusion was supported by substantial evidence. Following careful review of the law and the record, we affirm.

I. Facts and procedure
