Sabatka v. Bd. of Trs. of the Fremont County Pub. Library Sys.
Annotate this CaseAppellant, the manager of the Dubois branch of the Fremont County Library System (FCLS), used an FCLS account to order books for the Dubois school system. The FCLS executive director terminated Appellant, determining that Appellant had improperly used FCLS funds to purchase books for the District. The FCLS Board of Trustees upheld the termination based upon an erroneous belief that Appellant had violated Wyo. Stat. Ann. 9-13-105. The district court affirmed, concluding that the Board misread section 9-13-105 but that because Appellant’s employment was at-will, Appellant’s employment may be terminated at any time with or without cause. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that, as an at-will employee, Appellant did not have a property interest in continued employment or a right to a contested case hearing.
