Sec. 115C-325(m)(2) by terminating her employment on May 26, 1992, at the conclusion of her first year as a probationary teacher of choral music at East Alamance High School. The magistrate granted summary judgment to the school board on Donald's federal claims and dismissed the state claims without prejudice so that Donald could refile them in state court.
