So you're saying that the lawsuit actually keeps them from firing him?

If that is the case, it should be changed. He's not being fired because of the pending legal case (it may or may not have been illegal... it may or may not have been a legal search)... he's being fired because that which they DO know (the nude beach story) is (in this hypo) grounds enough, whether or not it leads to a criminal conviction.

I get your point, I just don't think that the firing of a teacher should require NOR defer to the judicial system. They may or may not be related... but just because they're related shouldn't stop one or the other from taking appropriate actions. If whatever we KNOW he did is grounds for termination, the existence or not... and the success or not of a legal case should have no bearing on that in either direction... with the only exception being if the legal case determines for a fact that what he was fired for didn't actually happen... i.e. the photo was a fake... I'm sure he'd have a chance to say that to the school board outside the courts... and if it is determined that it was, the perpetrator of the fake and not the school board is guilty.

Example... in the linked Louisiana case, it seems that the teacher admitted to 'most' of what is alleged, but not the sex. I suspect that means that she admits that she picked up the kid and took him to her apartment or whatever... and that admission alone might be grunds for termination/suspension without pay... even though it isn't yet proven to be a crime.

Unfortunately, NY is a beast of a different kind all together. It takes an act of Congress to fire someone up there. I didn't read what GTS posted, I don't have to, I know what it takes to fire a guy that's late to work everyday, works unsafe, and has been written up. You submit all evidence to the union and they decide if termination is proper or not.

Back to the story at hand.. If he's being paid to sit at home and is found guilty, he should be made pay back his salary.
