Archey? Or Jughead?
Kathy Archey, the teacher who was the subject of a mildly critical article in the Churchill County High School newspaper, filed suit against the district superintendent, the school principal, the school’s journalism adviser, and the editor of the local newspaper in which the story received general attention. Though published reports don’t mention it, the presence of the journalism adviser in the complaint probably precludes the involvement of the union in the lawsuit, since the union cannot take sides in a dispute involving bargaining unit members.
Archey wants $10,000 in damages, claiming the article adversely affected her plans to open a restaurant in Churchill County. (Huh?)
“Based on the conduct of these individuals, Kathleen’s reputation as a teacher has been damaged,” the suit says. “She has suffered ridicule and has been rebuked by people who have been influenced by these defamatory and malicious allegations concerning her integrity
