Upon careful consideration of all the assignments of error raised by the Appellants 1 and reviewing the record, this Court finds that the Appellees were deprived of their constitutionally protected property right to be recalled to employment without due process of law. Subsequently, the State Defendants and the Orleans Parish School Board sought this Court's appellate review. The judgment: 1) denied all peremptory exceptions filed by the defendants 2) found that there was a due process violation which resulted in wrongful termination 3) found that there was intentional and tortious interference of contract by the Louisiana Department of Education and 4) found that the Orleans Parish School Board and the Louisiana Department of Education were partners, which created joint and solidary liability.
