Synopsis BOE did not convey to the Grievant that he was unacceptable in the position as principal in a timely fashion and denied him the opportunity for input into the plan of improvement. There is no indication that the grievant was observed or evaluated between the time the plan of improvement was issued and the superintendent recommended dismissal. The Supt recommended the BOE approve Grievant's dismissal as a result of staff and community protest. Grievance granted: the dismissal of the grievant less than two months after he was given an unsatisfactory evaluation and plan of improvement is violative of both state and county policies regarding termination for incompetency.
