HAMPTON - After a recent hearing, 14th Circuit Judge Carmen T. Mullen dismissed a lawsuit filed on behalf of former Hampton School District Two administrator Fayette Nick, but this case may be far from over.
A civil complaint in the case of Fayette Nick vs. Hampton County School District Two was dismissed by Mullen without prejudice in a Feb. 17 order, citing that Nick "failed to exhaust her administrative remedies" before turning to the court for relief.
