Outcome

School district officials were granted qualified immunity and prevailed on summary judgment on 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims alleging violations of student's First Amendment rights to free speech and association. The appellate court affirmed, finding the officials entitled to qualified immunity based on significant probability of school disruption and student assault.
