A North Carolina judge ruled that a state law barring public school teachers from serving on local boards is unconstitutional as applied to Joseph H. Barringer of Caldwell County who was elected to the Caldwell County Board of Education. The decision allows Barringer to take the four year term. The ruling does not settle the broader constitutionality but clears Barringer to seat.
