Synopsis Teacher was dismissed for willful neglect of duty when he failed to disarm a student who entered the classroom with a gun. The Board of Education did not show how the Grievant was to separate the armed student from the rest of the class and ignores that any unusual behavior by the Grievant may have provoked the student.
