Teachout v. Forest City Community School District

TERNUS, Justice.

Appellant, Christine Teachout, brought suit against her employer, appellee, Forest City Community School District, alleging she had been terminated from her position as a teaching assistant in retaliation for her attempts to report child abuse.

We agree and affirm.
