Judith Rogers, Judge, concurring. I reluctantly concur in holding that appellee waived both the right to confront and cross-examine the witnesses. If these issues had been preserved, we might be faced with several problems that are glaring by omission in terms of the administrative procedures used by school boards. Significantly, there appears to be no procedural rules that provide for the subpoena power to compel witnesses to appear. Consequently, hearsay problems and confrontation problems are likely to occur in these proceedings. It is difficult to have adequate due process, when there is no process at all prescribed by the rules that govern such hearings. 853 S.W.2d 285 David Soloman, for appellant. R.S. McCullough, for appellee. Mayfield, J., concurs.
