Kirkland v. St. Vrain Valley School District No. Re-1J

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing a public school district’s interest in immediately suspending an administrator who had overseen “an unexpected multi-million dollar deficit”
• finding that the plaintiff waived his procedural due process claim challenging the adequacy of post-deprivation process where he could have filed a grievance challenging the deprivation but “chose not to do so”
• “[Ajlthough Kirkland has a private interest that will be affected by a suspension, that effect is attenuated by the relatively prompt post-suspension hearing that is provided.”
• “It is by now well established that due process, unlike some legal rules, is not a technical concep tion with a fixed content unrelated to time, place and circumstance.
• no due process violation to suspend teacher with no prior notice during financial emergency
• “Because the resignation agreement ... never became an enforceable contract, Kirkland never gained a property interest in that agreement such that it would be subject to due process protections.” (emphasis added)
