Supreme Court of Colorado

Lisa M. Johnson, Plaintiff-Appellant v. School District No. 1 in — Gabriel, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting…

March 12, 2018413 P.3d 711

Summary

Justice Gabriel agrees that Johnson had no vested property interest in salary and benefits when placed on unpaid leave. He disagrees with the majority's interpretation of the teacher-displacement statute, concluding that a nonprobationary teacher assigned through mutual consent may be displaced only for the school-related reasons specifically listed in the statute. Justices Hood and Hart joined the concurrence in part and dissent in part.
