July 11-- The federal civil case of Christopher Bowman versus the Montgomery County school board is getting closer to a trial date.
A pre-trial conference for the case will be held Wednesday, July 20 at 3 p.m. before Judge Dudley Bowen, Jr. at the federal courthouse in Dublin.
Bowman filed suit against the school board claiming he was fired in retaliation for reporting alleged sexual contact between a Montgomery County high school counselor and a 16-year-old male student.
Observers say the case could come to court in early August.
