Syllabus

The trial court erred in finding that appellant-board of education violated due process and fundamental fairness when it terminated appellee from a nonteaching custodial position. The trial court also erred in failing to accord any deference to appellant's findings and in blatantly substituting its judgment for that of appellant. Given these conclusions, appellant's other assignments of error concerning the court's damages award are moot. Judgment reversed and remanded, with instructions for the trial court to affirm appellant's decision to terminate appellee's employment.
