Shotwell filed a complaint and a temporary restraining order. The presiding Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the restraining order, stating the Rockingham County Schools Board of Education cannot officially end Shotwell s contract until the Court makes further orders. The judge also stated Shotwell is likely to succeed on the merits of his claims .
