OPINION
SENTER, Chief Judge.
First year librarian Jacqueline Pruett brought this § 1983 action seeking damages from the Board of Trustees of the Starkville, Mississippi, School District for its refusal to renew her contract. Ms. Pruett alleges that the school board’s action violated both her substantive and due process rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. As both parties have agreed that there are no genuine issues of material fact, the instant case is appropriately postured for a judgment as a matter of law. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c).
