Daroleen Roberts v. Beecher Community

Plaintiff appeals as of right from an order of summary judgment in favor of the defendants in this public school employment case. We affirm. Plaintiff was employed as an elementary school principal in the Beecher Community School District pursuant to a written contract of employment. Employment was to commence July 1, 1982, and terminate on June 30, 1984. On March 24, 1983, however, plaintiff received notice that she would be laid off effective June 30, 1983, due to a ""severe economic situation"". In June of 1983, plaintiff received further notification informing her that she would be returned to a teaching position within the school district and that her salary would be reduced accordingly.
