In this report, the author examines current statutory and case law to determine the present legal restrictions on teacher behavior both in and out of the classroom. The discussion focuses on statutory provisions for teacher discipline and teacher conduct resulting in (1) certificate suspension or revocation, (2) suspension or dismissal, (3) loss of salary, and (4) fines and/or imprisonment. After examining statutes and cases, the author concludes that teacher discipline has changed substantially and notes that some of these changes represent significant decreases in the restrictions on teacher conduct. He indicates that the major contributing factors were (1) legislation and the widespread adoption of collective bargaining in education, (2) court decisions on teachers' rights-especially constitutional rights, and (3) developments in the total social context.
