Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County and Roy D. Nichols

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that both the Mobile County Board of School Commissioners and its superintendent, in their official capacities, are absolutely immune from suit under Article I, § 14 of the Alabama Constitution. Consequently, the trial court lacked subject‑matter jurisdiction over the plaintiffs’ claims for back‑pay and reinstatement, rendering the judgment against the defendants void.
