And it only took three years of litigation to reach that result. Michael Campbell and the New York State United Teachers Union sued to get Campbell his job back at Intermediate School 72 after he was caught in his car with ten aluminum bags of cocaine, and a hearing officer and a trial court agreed before the appellate court reversed.
