Narrative Opinion Summary
The appeal involves the denial of a request for declaratory relief by the appellant, who was suspended from school for ten days for an alleged violation of school regulations. The appellant sought a judicial declaration of wrongful suspension and an order to classify her absences as excused. The court reversed the lower judgment, determining that the teacher's actions effectively nullified the application of the relevant school regulation. As a result, the appellant was found to be wrongfully suspended and entitled to have her absences recorded as excused. The court did not address other issues raised by the appellant, and the case was reversed and remanded for appropriate relief. Associate Judges Barkett and Wessel concurred, while Judge Hurley dissented without providing an opinion.
