When I was taking classes for my supervisors cert I had an excellent professor who spent a lot of time going over all the work you needed to do to fire a teacher. It was a lot of work, but according to him perfectly achievable. His bigger picture message was that doing that work was important because it gave the teacher ample opportunities to improve but also moved people who didn’t belong out of the classroom. I never became an administrator but that message stuck with me. Most admins clearly don’t have my old prof’s work ethic.

Teacher here;
What concerns me most is how long these people operate within our school systems, and how long this behavior is known about by administrators. Union and tenure protections are not some impenetrable shield; we are easily fired for cause when the administration does their job of documenting issues with an employee. All too often, principals and vice principals are too lazy, jaded, or otherwise unwilling to document disciplinary issues with staff. I had a colleague once that took a nap during the PARCC testing (standardized test that the state used at the time; violating secure testing procedures can result in having your teaching license revoked) session in his class during the year he was up for tenure. Our vice principal walked in on this happening. She granted him tenure anyway. It would have been a slam fucking dunk getting rid of him; but that would have meant filling out paperwork, which they didn't want to do.
