     and Commissioner ISD v. Porter, et. Al., 2!" #$ !%&""'2 at('.+ school

    district may not require information in a lesson plan “that is neither taught

    to students nor describes the activities that will be used to teach the

    subject matter.” Id.

    II. e!as +ttorney eneral issued -pinion o. +/0101 dated 2une $&, 100&.

    he +ttorney eneral construed section 11.03$1 to prohibit a school district

    from bringing a disciplinary proceeding against a professional employee for

    the use of … to the e!tent justified under Section 4.%1 of the 5enal #ode

    where the professional employee “reasonably believes the force is necessary

    “to enforce compliance with a proper command issued” to control, train, or

    educate the child. See Alvarado ISD vs. )a* +arper . he 5etitioner was

    enforcing compliance with proper commands, by using verbal force to control

    his students.

    III. +lthough probationary teachers have little ground to stand on when

    terminations take place, allegations such as students running around or fast

    food remains in the classroom do not meet )good cause* for probationary

    terminations under e!as "ducation #ode 1$.$0&'a(,ero, violating condition

    eleven of 5etitioners contract, see "!hibit -. #ondition eleven of

    5etitioner*s contract does contend that 6the board*s7 decision is final and

    cannot be appealed, but 5etitioner filed his original grievance 6b7efore he

    was ever notified of his dismissal from 6the school7, 6b7efore he was ever

    placed on administrative leave, and 6b7efore his contract was ever terminated.

    +nd since 5etitioner vacated 6the district7 involuntarily and is currently

    seeking 6i7mmediate reinstatement, this petition to the commissioner is

    6n7either void, or hereby moot.
