Teacher Tenure Law • The Honorable Richard Doughton (April 23rd) granted a preliminary injunction staying the provisions of the 25% Mandate in the lawsuit filed by Guilford and Durham Boards of Education. The Judge ruled that the Boards had standing to challenge the constitutionality of the 25% Mandate, that they have shown likelihood of success on the merits (including the unconstitutionality of the retroactive taking of tenure, the void for vagueness argument of the language of the Mandate, and other arguments contained in our complaint) and that there will be irreparable harm if a preliminary injunction is not entered staying the Mandate and preserving the status quo.
