A former assistant superintendent in the Stanly County public schools can move forward with her lawsuit against the school system and five school board members who voted not to renew her contract in 2004.
This morning, a unanimous three-judge panel of the N.C. Court of Appeals threw out a lower court’s ruling against the former school administrator, Mary Adkins. Adkins has had legal fights with the school board since 2000, when the board cut both her salary and the salary of another assistant superintendent.
In other opinions released this morning:
- A unanimous three-judge panel overturned a Superior Court judge’s order of a new trial in a Camden County medical malpractice case.
- A unanimous three-judge panel upheld a lower-court ruling in a dispute over a private contractor’s provision of telephone services to inmates in the Caldwell County jail.
