504.07000 – No reason or Inconsistent Reasons Given; Shifting Justifications

Allegation that principal told substitute teacher that cited incident was not the true reason for her removal could support a finding of inconsistent or contradictory justification or the offering of vague and ambiguous reasons. In addition, allegations that principal told teacher that she had “had problems with other principals in the past and mustn’t take it out on him because of what others dictate” could support a finding that the decision was made by someone else with unlawful motivation.
