against imposition of punitive damages on governmental entities.” Vt. Agency of Nat. Res, v. United States, 529 U.S. 765, 784, 120 S.Ct. 1858, 146 L.Ed.2d 836 (2000) (citation omitted).

(See Br. in Opp’n (Doc. 21) at 13.) “The board of education of each county in the State shall be a body corporate ....” N.C. Gen. Stat., § 115C-40. Among other powers, duc., 315 F.Supp.2d 784, 810 (M.D.N.C.2004) (“Defendant Guilford County Board of Education is a governmental entity and therefore is immune from punitive damages,” (citation omitted)); Long v. City of Charlotte, 306 N.C. 187, 208, 293 S.E.2d 101, 115 (1982) ; Ripellino v. N.C. Sch. Bds. Ass’n, 158
