California Court of Appeal May 6, 2010, C060831 (Broney v. California Commision on Teacher Credentialing)

Opinion

NICHOLSON, Acting P. J.

Rejecting statutory terms, such as “immorality,” “unprofessional conduct,” or “moral turpitude” as overly broad to use as grounds for discipline of public school teachers, the California Supreme Court has created its own seven-part test to assess whether a misbehaving teacher is fit to teach.
