UNION COUNTY, NC — School redistricting in Union County is moving forward. Β Wednesday, a judge threw out the injunction filed by upset parents who wanted to stop the process. Β Those parents argued the school board violated open-meeting laws and moved redistricting lines after a vote.
Judge Lucy Inman ruled the board made good faith efforts to comply with state public records and open meeting laws. Β Parents are still considering their next move.
“We will more than likely be dropping the lawsuit and just helping the individual parents corporally. Β If we can’t do this, the next thing to do is help those who need help.”
The parents’ request for a temporary restraining order was also denied back in March. Β Judge Inman suggested the redistricting issue is better resolved at the ballot box instead of a courtroom.
