Description:
Marengo, Iowa personal Injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued on defamation and wrongful discharged theories.
The Iowa City Community School District has chosen to expand public access to its school board meetings by posting complete video recordings of the meetings online. That decision led to this defamation suit by its former girls tennis coach, Amie Villarini. She claims that the school district defamed her by posting the video of a meeting during which two student tennis players made purportedly defamatory statements about her. And she alleges that placing her on administrative leave and not renewing her contract violates public policy.
Outcome: The District Court granted summary judgment.
Affirmed
