forbes v. Poudre School District R-1

Kenneth E. Forbes, appellant, has appealed an order of the Poudre School District R-1 (the District), acting through its Board of Education (the Board), that he be placed on a one-year period of probation while carrying out his responsibilities as a tenured teacher at Rocky Mountain High School. Forbes asserts that the Board had no authority under sections 22-63-101 to -118, 9 C.R.S. (1988), of the Teacher Tenure Act (hereinafter the Act) to place him on probation. The Board has filed a cross-appeal asserting that the appeal must be dismissed because Forbes failed to name the Board as a party to the appeal. We reverse the Boards order.
