1975-Wood+v.+Strickland

Three girls in Mena Polk County admitted to spiking the punch at an extracurricular activity. The principal, Duddy Waller, suspended the students for a week. During that same day, the Superintendent S.L. Inlow and the school board member held a closed meeting and expelled the three students for the rest of the semester. Neither the parents nor the girls were notified. The parents sued for students to be re-instated back in school and for money. The Supreme Court declared that school officials acted in good faith and hand immunity from a lawsuit against money damages.
