(KAIR)--A longtime Atchison High School educator has been terminated, following a vote of the USD 409 Board of Education this week.

The resolution related to the termination of Lee Supple cites a failure "to maintain professional integrity as an educator, by unprofessional conduct with students, parents and administrators, insubordination with district administrators, [and] violation of the teacher's contract of August 27, 2020.”

The resolution also states that Supple “may be entitled to certain rights pursuant to the current negotiated agreement between the Atchison National Educational Association" and the School District.

The decision to terminate Supple, with pay, was finalized with a unanimous vote of the Board of Education during Monday evening’s meeting. The vote followed an executive session held to discuss matters of non-elected personnel.

Supple began his employment with the School District in August, 2006. His termination became effective August 8 of this year.
