Beverlin v. Board of Education of the County of Lewis

In Beverlin v. Board of Education of the County of Lewis, 158 W. Va. 1067, 216 S.E.2d 554 (1975), the Court held that the failure of a public school teacher to report to work on a date ordered by his school board did not constitute insubordination which would support the imposition of a sanction where the teacher had a valid reason for not reporting, where he made some attempt, although abortive, to contact his principal, and where no harm resulted to his students as a result of his failure to report.
