Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Feb 22, 2022
Paul T. Lehmann vs. Board of Education of the Fayette R3 School District
Paul Lehmann, a taxpaying resident, challenged the Fayette R3 School District's implementation of a four-day school week, alleging constitutional violations, state aid fraud, and unauthorized taxation. The trial court dismissed Lehmann's amended petition, finding he lacked standing and failed to state a claim. The appellate court affirmed the dismissal, agreeing that Lehmann lacked standing, but modified the judgment to dismiss the petition without prejudice.
