Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s denial of summary judgment on the plaintiff’s breach‑of‑contract claim, holding that a public board’s employment contract must be recorded in the board’s minutes with enough terms to determine the parties’ obligations, which the minutes in this case lacked.
