Gore v. Crim
Gore v. Crim
Opinion of the Court
We affirm the trial court’s grant of appellees’ motion for summary judgment.
From June 1957 to August 1974 appellant was employed by the Atlanta Public School System as a television teacher at WETV, an educational television station owned and operated by the Atlanta Public School
Appellant instituted this suit claiming her reassignment to the classroom was in violation of § 5b of the Public School Teacher Tenure Act for Cities over 300,000 Population, Ga. L. 1968, pp. 3697, 3700. We disagree. That section is inapplicable, as it applies only to dismissals of tenured teachers from their professionally certificated positions. See § 4 of Tenure Act, supra, p. 3699. In this case, it appears as a matter of law that appellant was not dismissed from her certificated position, which has remained throughout that of classroom teacher. We find no violation of appellant’s tenure rights and, furthermore, no violation of her right to procedural due process.
Judgment affirmed.
