Abstract:

North Carolina's Teacher Tenure Act provides that public school employees can only be dismissed or demoted on one or more of fifteen grounds specified in the act. Due process of law must be afforded by the local school board in all dismissal or demotion procedures. Joyce describes the entire dismissal process and also situations where the State Board of Education, and not the local school board, is involved in dismissal proceedings.
