Look at the contracts in place for either of them with the School District.  Until you know what is in there, you are ignorant of necessary facts.

If nothing in their contracts says what they can be fired for or what 'rights' they have in that regard under those contracts, we are back to the State of Oregon being an "at will" state where you can be fired for no reason whatsoever.  

(There are some statutes that protect minorities and females and those with disabilities and such, but nothing for these apparently healthy Caucasian males.)

If the School Board isn't chatting with an attorney, I would be amazed!
