State ex rel. Couch v. Trimble Local School District Board of Education

{¶ 1} This is an original action for a writ of mandamus to compel a board of education, its members, and the school district superintendent to reinstate a former employee to the nonteaching position of Safe and Drug Free Schools Coordinator and to pay the employee all back pay and benefits owed from the date of layoff to the date of judgment, plus interest. Because neither the board nor the school district planning and supervision commission was authorized to abolish the employee’s position and lay her off after the employee had obtained continuing-contract status, we grant the writ.
