Description

Plaintiff, Louise Bessler, a probationary teacher in Chartered School District No. 150 of Peoria County, filed this action in the circuit court of Peoria County against the defendant board of education alleging that her employment with the district had been improperly terminated. She sought an injunction and the issuance of a writ of mandamus reinstating her as a teacher, and a declaratory judgment that she had attained tenured status. The circuit court allowed defendant's motion for summary judgment. The appellate court reversed, and remanded the cause for further proceedings. (11 Ill. App.3d 210.) On remand, the circuit court awarded plaintiff $12,115 as damages for breach of contract, and costs. She appealed contending that the circuit court erred in failing to order her reinstated as a teacher and in denying her request for attorney fees. Contending that the damages awarded were excessive, defendant cross-appealed. The appellate court reversed that portion of the judgment which denied plaintiff reinstatement and ordered her reinstated as a second-year probationary teacher. It affirmed the denial of attorney fees but found the damages awarded were inadequate and remanded the cause to the circuit court with directions to recompute damages. (43 Ill. App.3d 322.) We allowed defendant's petition for leave to appeal.
