Description

The board of education of Buckley-Loda Community School District No. 8, defendant, dismissed the plaintiff, Richard Grissom, a tenured teacher, at the end of the 1973-74 school year. At a meeting of the board on March 25, 1974, it had voted not to rehire Grissom, and had sent him a notice of dismissal the following day. Grissom, within the statutorily required 10 days (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 122, par. 24-12), requested a hearing and a bill of particulars, and stated that the apparent causes for his discharge were remediable, thus entitling him to a warning which had not, the board agrees, been given. The board sent a bill of particulars, which Grissom maintains was inadequate, and set a date for the hearing, which started May 7, 1974, and continued on subsequent dates through the summer of 1974. Following the hearing, the board made findings and voted to dismiss the plaintiff, who filed for administrative review in the circuit court of Ford County (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 110, par. 264 et seq.). The circuit court affirmed, as did the appellate court (55 Ill. App.3d 667), and we granted leave to appeal (65 Ill.2d R. 315).
