Gonzales v. Colorado Department of Revenue

In this action arising from the termination of her employment as a full-time nontenured teacher, plaintiff, Robin Christie, appeals the directed verdict entered in favor of the defendant, San Miguel County School District R-2(J) (district), at the close of plaintiffs case-in-chief. Plaintiff contends that the trial court erred. (1) in finding that the district had not violated the Teacher Employment, Dismissal, and Tenure Act of 1967 (the Tenure Act), § 22-63-101, et seq., C.R.S., when it transferred plaintiff from a full-time position as a music teacher to a position as a "permanent substitute" teacher, (2) in concluding that the district had not breached plaintiffs employment contract, and (3) in ruling that a prima facie case of constructive discharge and denial of due process had not been presented. We affirm.
