According to NNPS spokesperson Michelle Price, Zwerner notified the school system in March that she would not be returning. Price provided this statement to WAVY:

The email that Ms. Zwerner received from the Human Resources Department is a confirmation of her separation of service from Newport News Public Schools. Every employee who is separating from the school division receives a similar communication. Ms. Zwerner notified the Human Resources Department that she was resigning from her position as a teacher for NNPS on March 13, 2023.

Ms. Zwerner was an employee of Newport News Public Schools until June 12, 2023, the last day of her contract.

contract expires - not renewed, per employees stated preference/intention ...

Seems highly likely that this young woman will prevail in her lawsuit against the district and school officials - this 'termination' letter (and the 'outrage' generated) doesn't seem, at first glace at least, to rise at all to that level.
