Former Colbert County High School Principal Melcha Satchel wins appeal against his firing, with the court ruling that the school board failed to provide proper notice and failed to show a willful violation of policy. Satchel was fired after allegedly putting a student in an alternative school for an alcohol violation without notifying the superintendent or board of education. The board now has 14 days to appeal the judge's decision if they choose to.
