In relation to the matter of Miss L. A.
Orr and others, which has been in an unset
tied state for nearly year, a resolution was
passed which definitely disposes of in,
though probably not 70 the satisfaction of
the parties concerned. The Board OF Edu-
cation assumed originally to raise the grade
OF these teachers from second to first, and
upon second thought rescinded their action.
DID NOT LIKE IT.
The teachers did not DjOy this, so ap-
pealed first to the Board of Education and
then the Board of Examiners to have tho
last proceeding rescnded. SO as to leave
them in the rank of trst-grade teachers.
TIE Beard of Examiners refused to have
anything 10 do with the matter, because
they did not wish to interfere with the
Board of Education. The latter board also
declined to have anything to do with the
case, because subsequent to their last pro-
ceeding the County Attorney had advised
the department that tile Board of Examiners
and not The Board of Education had sole
jurisdiction in the matter Of issuing certifi-
Gates.
The resolution adopted yesterday was to
the effect that the original action of the
board in raising certain second grades to
first grades. by adding credits for expert
ence subsequent to the time when the
original examination was held, was in viola
ton of precedent and of the school law. and
ur nenpa
grade certificates were illegally issued and
are void.
The board declines to take further action,
because 1t would be in violation of law.
