Description
On February 29, 1972, the defendant, the Board of Education of Alton Community Unit School District No. 11 (hereafter the Board), adopted a resolution discharging the plaintiff, Elizabeth Ann Reinhardt, a tenured kindergarten teacher in the school district (hereafter the teacher), for immorality and because the interest of the schools of this school district require such dismissal. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 122, par. 10-22.4.) After a hearing (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 122, par. 24-12), requested by the teacher, the Board in effect affirmed its resolution, and the teacher was dismissed. She filed a complaint for review (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 122, par. 24-16) under the Administrative Review Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 110, par. 264 et seq.). The circuit court reversed the Board and ordered the teacher reinstated. The appellate court affirmed (19 Ill. App.3d 481), and we granted the Board's petition for leave to appeal. The proceeding to dismiss was brought by the Board under section 10-22.4 of the School Code. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 122, par. 10-22.4.) The section provides: [The school board shall have the power] To dismiss a teacher for incompetency, cruelty, negligence, immorality or other sufficient cause and to dismiss any teacher, whenever, in its opinion, he is not qualified to teach, or whenever, in its opinion, the interests of the schools require it * * *.
