Legal Question in Education Law in California
Notice of release from management position
Is there any recourse at all if a notice of release from a management position is received? There where no evaluations, documentations, etc. The person was a ''whistleblower'' regarding a misuse of funds in the district and this appears to be the reason for the notice.

Re: Notice of release from management position
Yes, there is recourse in the form of a wrongful termination lawsuit. The Whistleblower statute is Labor Code section 1102.5, and there are a myriad of other sections that should be analyzed for use as well.
Since you say "district," it appears that the potential defendant may be a public entity. If so, beware of the California Tort Claims Act, which requires you to exhaust the administrative remedies of the agency you seek to sue. There is a shortened time frame in which to do this.
You should consult an employment lawyer in your area for further guidance.
Good luck.
