Certiorari Review of School Board Actions: Closing the Door on an Unwelcome Guest.

West's Education Law Reporter, v66 n2 p537-42 May 23 1991

In "Dokmo v. Independent School District No.11, Anoka-Hennepin," a teacher brought a declaratory judgment in district court challenging the school board's refusal to reinstate the teacher. The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that a writ of certiorari is the proper procedure for challenging a school board's decision, thus preserving the board's authority to make policy decisions.
