520 # $a A discussion of the court findings from the State Industrial Commission, State District Court, and State Supreme Court after his death was incorporated into this study. The courts' findings affirmed that his widow was entitled to workers' compensation benefits because her husband suffered a mental/mental injury in the workplace due to stress caused mainly by the OBE controversy.
520 # $a A qualitative narrative emerged from the data gathered from extensive court records, documents, and interviews. A timeline served as a chronological summary of the events described in the narrative of this case study.
520 # $a A stress-standard developed from this case study displayed the three major categories of workplace stress: observable job-related stress, unusual stress, and extraordinary stress beyond the comparable superintendents.

This study also blended the singular historical reality with a theoretical model. Data generated from the narrative were fitted into the five stages and stress moderating filters of Gmelch's administrative stress model. Utilizing Gmelch's theoretical framework, an explanation of Derts' inability to cope with the encountered stressors was developed. This was consistent with the evidence of Major Depressive Disorder discussed in the evidence generated from a
