Jackson Public School District v. Jackson Federation of Teachers and Psrps

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court held that the teachers' union lacked standing to challenge the school district's employee speech policies because it failed to show that any current district employee was one of its members when the litigation began or during its continuation. The court held that the union lacked both standing in its own right and associational standing, reversed the trial court's ruling, and rendered judgment for the district. Because standing was dispositive, the court did not reach mootness or the constitutional merits.
