Colorado Education Law FAQ
What educators across the state want to know.
Can I appeal a termination from my Colorado school district?
Yes. Colorado teachers who have completed probationary periods are entitled to due process before being terminated. This often includes a hearing before the board or a designated hearing officer. We help you prepare for this process and advocate for reinstatement, resolution, or a clean separation depending on your goals.
What happens if I’m accused of misconduct by a student?
Even if false, these claims can trigger internal investigations or referrals to the Colorado Department of Education. You may face administrative leave or license review. We step in early to ensure your side is documented and your rights are protected. Early intervention can shape the entire outcome of your case.
Can the state revoke my teaching license?
Yes—especially for allegations of misconduct, unprofessional behavior, or criminal charges. The Colorado Department of Education may initiate review proceedings that impact your ability to teach anywhere in the state. We defend clients through that process, aiming to preserve or restore their license whenever possible.
Can teachers in Colorado be disciplined for social media use?
Yes. School districts increasingly monitor educator conduct online and may discipline teachers for posts they consider inappropriate or unprofessional. We advise on your rights and defend against disciplinary action tied to content, context, or misunderstandings about your online presence.
Do I need legal help for a union grievance or administrative hearing?
Yes—grievances and administrative hearings can have lasting impacts on your employment record. School district policies are complex and often favor the administration. We represent both union and non-union educators in grievance matters, helping you present your case clearly and effectively.
