A new court filing from two parents alleges that Charlotte Latin School "hatched a plan" to expel their two children after the parents questioned the school's operations.
The state Supreme Court has denied two parents' request to take up their legal dispute against a Charlotte private school. The state’s highest court declined to jump into the case as it moves through the Court of Appeals.
Two parents argue a Charlotte private school “hatched a plan” to expel their children after the parents started asking questions about changes in the school’s operations. Parents Doug and Nicole Turpin make that claim in their latest filing at the NC Court of Appeals.
Two groups representing private schools urge the N.C. Court of Appeals to uphold a ruling favoring Charlotte Latin in its legal dispute with parents of two expelled students. Parents Doug and Nicole Turpin filed a lawsuit citing their concern about Charlotte Latin's shift toward a “political culture and curriculum” in 2020-21.
Parents of two students expelled from the Charlotte Latin private school in 2021 hope the N.C. Court of Appeals will revive their lawsuit against the school. The parents accuse school leaders of fraud, unfair and deceptive trade practices, slander, breach of contract, and other offenses.
