Judge Awards over $650,000 against Superintendent and

Texas Association of School Boards

Plano – A Federal judge has just awarded over $650,000 in attorney fees and costs against a former Superintendent and the Texas Association of School Boards.  

The case, one of the first of its kind in the country, originated when Mrs. Barrow was denied a promotion within the District unless she removed her children from a private, Christian School.

A federal jury in the civil rights trial, Karen Jo Barrow v. Greenville ISD, issued a unanimous verdict, finding a constitution violation and ordering the former superintendent D. Herman Smith to pay back wages and punitive damages.  The decision will be precedent, affecting millions of teachers and administrators.  

“This should send a strong message to every school district in the state and nationwide” said Kelly Shackelford, chief counsel for Liberty Legal Institute, who represented Mrs. Barrow.  “American children are not children of the state.  This type of discrimination against teachers and administrators will not be tolerated and it will cost them dearly.”
