Supreme Court
Synopsis The conviction of DUI has rendered Grievant unfit to carry out his present responsibilities of driver education and health instructor and has impaired or threatened the welfare of the school community. It is not possible to separate occupational responsibilities with the conviction and the details of the conduct have become so widely disseminated that Grievant cannot effectively function in the capacity for which he was employed.
