My English Teacher from 10th grade, Got fired for having a relationship with one of her students. (Not 100% sure she was fired, I think her contract was not renewed, She was still in probationary period), Since a few years later she was teaching in a different district.
He was 16, She was ~24
They got married, she had a baby boy from him, and after 40years they are still married.
I had no teachers who were fired, including the one who barely spoke any English causing most students to not be able to understand her and the teacher who taught nothing and spent the entire class talking about football and how evil whites, Christians, and Republicans were. However, I went to school in California where it's incredibly difficult and expensive to fire a teacher with tenure.
Our local district has had a lot of "issues" (that I have talked about in the Colorado Springs forum) due to a gentrified (fossilized?) boundary area where the mill/levy bond issues keep being defeated.
As in no money since prior to 1999. They have gone through 2 main sweeps of school closures. They retain/move those they want to keep & the rest fend for themselves in the outlying districts.
Standardized test scores would weigh in heavily on this process. It's frustrating as a parent for there to be constant interruptions in the continuity.
I suspect that they are having issues with forced early retirements also. Not sure but just a nagging feeling.

One got fired for diddling kids. Another got fired for walking around in his socks (no shoes) to protest a dress code or something. Yet another got fired for being some sort of activist. This was in the 60's.
Finally the one who didn't get fired, never got caught throwing wild drug and sex parties in Laguna Beach, CA. I met Timothy Leary (the guy who developed LSD) at her house. LOL. PS, never took lsd myself, but saw some bizare stuff from people on it. LOL
I didn't have him for a class, but the baseball coach who later became athletic director was fired for an affair with a 17 year old girl. He ultimately got a couple years probation and was ordered to never work with kids again, but did no time.
We worked out at the same gym for several years and lifted together from time to time. I thought he was a nice guy but he engaged in "locker room" talk about girls even then - in hindsight, it was just incredibly stupid.

When we moved to the Springs over 25 years ago, we were told even then to avoid D11. Just during the time we lived there, there was an obvious difference between how D11 was run and perceived by the community vs D20, or even D49 for that matter. And it showed up in home prices and home sales.
None who were fired, but I had a teacher for second grade who dropped dead in the classroom when I was in third grade. My brother was in second grade when it happened. We only had one class for each grade.
