## Opinion text

BRYAN, Judge,
concurring in the result.
I agree with the main opinion that “‘[e]ven where termination is for expiration of a teacher’s certificate, factual inquiries are necessary to determine, among other things, if the certificate has, in fact, expired, and whether such expiration constitutes “good and just cause.” ’ ” 48 So.3d at 644 (quoting Frey v. Adams County Sch. Dist. No. 14, 804 P.2d 851, 856 (Colo.1991)). I note that the expiration of a teaching certificate may, in some circumstances, constitute good and just cause for a dismissal.
