The City of Rochester has filed a complaint in Strafford County Superior Court against Anna (a.k.a Annie) Azarloza, the former Superintendent of the Rochester School Department.

The complaint states that the City and Ms. Azarloza entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims on June 23, 2025, which ended her employment and included provisions limiting additional public statements and releasing certain claims.

The City alleges that Ms. Azarloza violated the agreement by making additional public statements, including comments made during a podcast appearance and on social media. The City also alleges that she filed a separate complaint against the Rochester School Department despite releasing such claims under the agreement.

The lawsuit asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and seeks injunctive relief, attorneys fees, and costs.
