Boulder Valley school board fired a teacher unfairly

The Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) board has fired Fairview High School teacher Rebecca Roetto, despite an Administrative Law Judge's recommendation for reinstatement. The decision has drawn criticism from a former BVSD board president. Roetto was terminated after drawing cartoon doodles on student documents, an action the judge deemed insufficient for dismissal. The judge's recommendation followed a trial where the district's evidence was questioned, and community members testified in her support. The former board president argues the termination is arbitrary, especially given Roetto's 20+ years of service and clean record. She suggests the decision disregards due process and the judge's findings.
