Woods v. Barnes (two Cases)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed the trial court, holding that the plaintiffs' Georgia Constitution Impairment Clause claims fail as a matter of law because the Charter Schools Act’s waiver provision, as amended, does not impair any Fair Dismissal Act rights. The Court reasoned that the 1993 Charter Schools Act already waived enforcement of FDA rights against charter schools and later amendments did not change that waiver.
