Toni Jones v. Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County

This is an appeal from the grant of Appellee’s Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 12.02(6) motion to dismiss Appellant’s 42 U.S.C. §1983 claim for alleged violation of her substantive and procedural due process rights to a public education. Appellant was removed from her Algebra I class and placed in a computer-based course. Because the right to a public education does not include a particular course placement or teaching method, Appellant’s complaint fails to state a claim for relief. Affirmed and remanded.
