Mellion v. Akron City School Dist. Bd. of Edn.

In the case of Mellion v. Akron City School Dist. Bd. of Edn., 2007-Ohio-242, a teacher appealed the non-renewal of the teacher’s limited contract and brought a wrongful discharge and age discrimination claim against the school board. McGown & Markling represented the school board in this case, and successfully obtained dismissal of the administrative appeal as the state trial court lacked jurisdiction due to the fact that the teacher did not timely demand a hearing under either R.C. 3319.11 or R.C. 3319.16.
