Freida Hill v. Blaine Galliher

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s judgment declaring State Board of Education policies 609.04 and 220.01 void. The Court held the policies are internal‑management rules within the Board’s statutory authority, do not violate the political‑activity protection, do not create an impermissible qualification under the state constitution’s separation‑of‑powers clause, and do not run afoul of the Fair Dismissal Act.
