Joyce Bowman, Petitioners v. Lumberton Independent School District, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted the school district’s motion for rehearing, withdrew its prior opinion, and reversed the appellate court’s summary judgment in favor of the district. It held that genuine factual disputes over estoppel and ratification precluded summary judgment for the district, and that the teachers’ partial summary judgment claim was interlocutory and could not be granted. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
