With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". issues raised in Olmsted’s appeal. We review de novo the district court’s grant of summary judgment. Swift & Co. v. Elias Farms, Inc., 539 F.3d 849, 851 (8th Cir. 2008). A. Duress Olmsted asserts that the District threatened to file termination charges against him when it had no intention or grounds to do so. Olmsted further asserts that in light of Minnesota law that requires “[a] school board [to] report to the Board of Teaching ... when a teacher or administrator is suspended or resigns while an investigation is pending,” see Minn. Stat. § 122A.20, subd. 2, the District illegally promised not to report him if he resigned. According to Olmsted, this threat and promise placed him under legal duress and comp as a defense to a contract. Bond v. Charlson, 374 N.W.2d 423, 428 (Minn. 1985) (<HOLDING>); see also St. Louis Park, 411 N.W.2d at 291
