Q: Information retaining an unbundled attorney or legal aid . I was terminated. I need to write a response to a motion
I was recently terminated from Board of Education as a teacher for refusal of drug testing. I have filed a letter of appeal to the Teacher Tenure Commision and the District file a motion of dismissal. I was informed by the Judge to write a response to the motion of dismissal. I need guidance in how to write a response. The judge suggested that I seek help. Could someone assist me further?
A: As a tenured teacher, you have more legal rights than an at will employee in Michigan. I recommend that you contact an employment law attorney in your area to assist you. The Tenure Commission has strict court rules and requirements just like a regular court. The school district attorneys know you may be at a legal disadvantage and it is worth to at least speak to an attorney to advocate for your rights and to explain the law to you.
