An Atlanta plaintiff attorney has helped a West Georgia high school student win her appeal after being expelled earlier this year for throwing her cellphone at a fellow student and accidentally hitting a teacher with it.

In an Aug. 24 order, the State Board of Education reversed the Troup County Board of Education’s decision to expel the student, who was a freshman at Callaway High School in February at the time of the incident. Known only as C.W. in the case, she’s not being identified by the Daily Report because she’s a minor.
