01-1625 Vukadinovich v. Board of School Trustees of North Newton School Corporation, et al.

Listen to this article

“Vukadinovich failed to comply with Principal Larson’s directives. Principal Larson directed Vukadinovich to submit his lesson plan book and identify how it complied with state qualifications five times and also made Additional Directives to him. Vukadinovich refused to comply with at least three of these directives, made half-hearted attempts to comply with the other two, ignored Principal Larson’s Additional Directives, and accused Principal Larson of misconduct. These actions constituted insubordination and we have consistently held that insubordination constitutes a legitimate justification for an adverse employment action. See, e.g., Love v. City of Chicago Bd. of Educ., 241 F.3d 564, 570 (7th Cir. 2001).”

Affirmed.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Sharp, J., Kanne, J.
