Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This case involves an appeal by the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights (KCCR) and Kurt W. Neunzig (a tenured teacher employed by Seaman U.S.D. No. 345) from an order of the Shawnee County District Court dismissing Neunzig's complaint before the KCCR of employment discrimination by U.S.D. No. 345. The district court determined the KCCR was without jurisdiction to hear Neunzig's complaint because Neunzig had already received a due process hearing on the matter pursuant to K.S.A. 72-5438. The issues raised on appeal are jurisdictional and the merits of Neunzig's complaint of discrimination are not before this court. The issues are whether the district court erred by dismissing the case (1) based upon findings that the KCCR had no jurisdiction over Neunzig's complaint because of the operation of principles of election of remedies, collateral estoppel, and res judicata; and (2) based upon findings that the interests of judicial economy favored barring Neunzig's claim under the Kansas Act Against Discrimination (KAAD).
