JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Complaint based on information/records of public employer.
- Dismissal of a complaint filed by two teachers against a charter school was barred under the Taxpayer Protection Against False Claims Act, O.C.G.A. § 23-3-120 et seq., because the complaint asserted that while employed at the school, the teachers had access to information which led the teachers to believe that the school was violating state and federal laws as to student count and special education services, which were allegations based upon information or records that the teacher had access to as a result of the teachers' employment. Campbell v. Cirrus Education, 355 Ga. App. 628, 845 S.E.2d 393 (2020).
Entitlement to sovereign immunity.
- Dismissal of the whistleblowers' complaint filed by two teachers against a charter school and the school's chief executive officer was affirmed because the charter school was a public entity entitled to sovereign immunity and since the charter school was an instrumentality of the state, the chief executive officer was entitled to official immunity. Campbell v. Cirrus Education, Inc., 355 Ga. App. 637, 845 S.E.2d 384 (2020).
