About Whistleblower Claims

Whistleblower claims protect employees who report illegal activity, fraud, safety violations, or other misconduct by their employer. Various federal and state laws provide whistleblower protections, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the False Claims Act, and OSHA regulations. Employers cannot retaliate against employees who make good-faith reports of wrongdoing.

Fargo Education Association v. Fargo Public School District
Unknown CourtNov 8, 2024

School psychologists not \employed primarily as a classroom teacher\ are not \teachers\ as defined in N.D.C.C. § 15.1-16-01(5). Hilton v. North Dakota Edu. Ass'n, 2002 ND 209, 655 N.W.2d 60, is overruled to the extent it holds a licensed school district employee who is not an administrator is a teacher irrespective of the employee's assigned teaching duties. A special education teacher is not a \teacher\ within N.D.C.C. ch. 15.1-16 when the teacher is not a school employee. This Court does not hold whether a school district may provide teaching services through independent contractors.
