After being fired, she appealed her termination.

Tuesday's decision is final.

Clark was let go after posting a string of illegal immigration comments to President Donald Trump from a now-deleted Twitter account.

One of the tweets said, "Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico. Carter-Riverside High School has been taken over by them.  Drug dealers are on our campus and nothing was done to them."
