FORT WORTH (1080 KRLD) - A three-day closed-door due process hearing to decide the fate of a Fort Worth teacher the school board recommended be fired got underway Monday.

Georgia Clark was an English teacher at Carter-Riverside High School, east of downtown Fort Worth.

In June, the school board voted unanimously to recommend firing Clark.

The termination recommendation came after tweets surfaced in which Clark told President Trump that the school district is loaded with "illegal students from Mexico" and that Carter-Riverside was, "taken over by them."

This was not the first time Clark's behavior drew scrutiny from the district.

According to records at the district's Office of Professional Standards, Clark had been disciplined three previous times for inappropriate behavior since 2007.
