Kegerise v. Susquehanna Township School District

Susan Kegerise (plaintiff), a former superintendent fired by Susquehanna Township School District (defendant), sued alleging her discharge violated state and federal law, naming several school board members as well. Kegerise moved for judgment on the pleadings, arguing the school district's responses to her complaint failed to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(b): some responses admitted part of an allegation and denied part but ignored the remainder; others claimed the allegation was merely a legal conclusion requiring no response; and others claimed lack of knowledge to respond even where the allegation concerned the personal knowledge of a board member who was himself a named defendant.
