[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Principals can absolutely recommend non-renewing a teacher’s contract as long as there is appropriate documentation to support the decision. That’s a good thing given the fact that some teachers aren’t effective and/or do something immoral, unprofessional, and/or unlawful. Here is the Board Policy describing Just Cause for dismissal: https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/8KNHE54811F8/$file/R4293.pdf[/quote]

Love when someone who isn't a teacher or admin posts a board doc and thinks that tells you how things work in a school.  It's really hard to fire a teacher, and the documentation is only a piece of it.  The other piece is that principals have bosses too, and those bosses do not want teachers fired.  They expect the principal to be able to work with the teacher and get them up to speed.  A firing in that case is a failure, and no one wants that.  Actual firings are therefore rare, and in my years as a teacher I witnessed only one (the teacher was caught on camera abusing a student).  [/quote]
