Joyce Quiller, 51, received a termination letter from the school district in February over allegations she led a profanity-laced classroom and called one student the “N†word.
But a judge’s ruling last month said the Duval County School District violated the progressive discipline provision of Quiller’s contract with the teachers' union that establishes a three-step system of punishment.
...
Another student said he was berated after forgetting to bring a pencil to class and accused Quiller of saying, “What is the point in coming to the mother f---- class if you do not bring materials?â€
“The School Board skipped step three and went directly to termination even though, if the allegations were true, they would have amounted to what is considered a minor offense,†said Reginal Luster, Quiller's legal consultant. “Not some type of severe misconduct on behalf of Ms. Quiller. It does not warrant the termination.â€
Gotta love union rules.
