Here's Halton's Code of Conduct, which applies to students and teachers:But they can't fire him because there's no specific rule against having massive breasts and not wearing a bra.
So the Teachers' Union would have to grieve and demand reinstatement. It's brilliant, but it's also fucked up.
Except they're getting advice from competent, well-paid board lawyers who are telling them not to do it.Here's Halton's Code of Conduct, which applies to students and teachers:

If the School Board weren't so feint of heart, I'm pretty sure they could investigate this guy for:
I doubt that a discharge could be sustained as first disciplinary measure, but I think any reasonable investigation of this guy's claims would lead to finding that he has not complied with existing policy, notwithstanding the absence of a policy specifically directed to wearing large fake tits. I think any form of discipline would have resolved this problem long ago.
- Failing to provide a "safe" learning environment free from distractions
- Failing to set a model of positive behaviour and good citizenship
- Dishonest communication
However, I believe the Board is jam packed with do-nothing, know-nothing types, simply parked there waiting for a chance to run for a more significant public office, like most school boards!

"Safe" learning environment. Those massive mammaries aren't going to kill or injure any students. And if you say they're a "distraction", the counter argument is that any woman with big tits can also be fired.
"Positive behaviour and good citizenship" - too vague to ever be enforced.
"Dishonest communication" - He says "I didn't lie. I really AM a trans woman" and who's to prove him wrong.
Checkmate.
