Monroe County teachers sue Director of Schools | News

(WBIR - Monroe County) Monroe County teachers are suing the Director of Schools and the Monroe County board of Education.

In a lawsuit filed in Monroe County Chancery Court, the group claimed Director of Schools Tim Blankenship broke the law during teacher-administration negotiations.

Teachers argue that Blankenship and the school board ignored a "complaint of unlawful acts." They said they want an equal and one-on-one relationship with Blankenship and school board members.

Blankenship and the board have yet to respond to the lawsuit.
