Abstract	The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to examine the experiences of a principal's perceptions with teacher organizations when dismissing an underperforming teacher. There is a lack of data showing what barriers might influence a principal when having to make this kind of decision. The historical aspect of teacher organizations is discussed at length due to the change in their influence and reach into the schools over the years. The purpose of interviewing administrators with varying lengths of experience was to discover if the influence of teacher organizations has changed over the years in such a way that it might influence a principal's decision. The researcher used Bolman and Deal's theories of political and human resources for this study for two main reasons. When making the decision to dismiss a teacher a principal must work around the entities in power that establish the rules of procedures for dismissal, as well as the human aspect of dealing with personalities, maintaining empathy, and dealing with conflict with another person. Interviews were used to discover if varying lengths of experience within the role of principal changed the perspective of a principal's experience with the teacher organizations when having to dismiss an underperforming teacher.
