Former North Little Rock coach Brad Bolding’s lawsuit against the North Little Rock School District will be heard Nov. 5 in Pulaski County Circuit Court in Little Rock.
Bolding was fired in April after allegedly violating district purchasing procedures and recruiting rules. He had coached at North Little Rock from 2007 to 2014, leading the school to a 7A/6A-East Conference championship last season.
Bolding, who is represented by attorney David Couch of Little Rock, filed a lawsuit against the NLRSD in April. In the lawsuit, Bolding requests reinstatement of his position at North Little Rock and financial compensation for damages incurred by what Couch calls “a result of North Little Rock School District’s illegal and wrongful conduct.”
Bolding has denied any wrongdoing, and Couch has said the district didn’t follow the Arkansas Teacher Fair Dismissal Act.
North Little Rock hired Jamie Mitchell as its football coach in May.
