It’s Not Illegal to Be a Jerk

from The ATPE Podcast Hosted by atpe

Educators often contact the ATPE Member Legal Services Department concerned they are victims of “targeting” by a supervisor or colleague—in other words, being bullied or harassed. In this episode of The ATPE Podcast, ATPE Managing Attorney Paul Tapp explains what distinguishes illegal behavior from bad but entirely legal behavior. The legal information provided here is for general purposes only. Individual legal situations vary greatly, and listeners needing individual legal advice should consult directly with an attorney. Please note: Rights based on the Texas Education Code may not apply to all. Many Texas Education Code provisions do not apply to public charter schools, and public school districts may have opted out of individual provisions through a District of Innovation plan. Eligible ATPE members may contact the ATPE Member Legal Services Department.
