Judge allows Baltimore County chief auditor to continue working indefinitely

A judge has ruled that Andrea Barr, the chief auditor of Baltimore County Public Schools, can keep her job, shooting down a county school board challenge over a vote that should have renewed her contract. Baltimore County Circuit Court Judge Sherrie Bailey granted Barr a preliminary injunction Thursday morning after a two-day trial between Barr and the county board of education. Barr can continue working until the court can hold a trial on the merits of the case. A hearing has not yet been scheduled. The board is not allowed to retaliate against her, nor interfere with her employment.
