ADVERSE EMPLOYMENT ACTIONS AND PUBLIC SCHOOL ...

administrators violated due process as they were never provided with reasons as to why they
were initially reassigned.
The six remaining cases were won by the school system. From two of these cases, the
researcher was able to determine that the information provided by the school was only required
to be minimal, and the actions of the administrator can nullify the inappropriate procedures
carried out in these meetings. In Perry v. Houston Independent School District (1995 Tex. App.),
Perry claimed that his reassignment hearing where he received a raise in his new job was
improper insomuch that he was not provided with “specific details about his new job
assignment.” Oliver misrepresented his prior arrest history and certification on his resume’ and
application. In so doing, his claim that an improper pre-termination hearing was moot as his
contract was voided in Oliver v. Lee County School District (2004 Ga. App.).
The next cause for due process claims centered on the failure of school systems to meet
certain requirements such as timeliness.
