The new school law as amended by
the recent legislature provides that
a teacher cannot resign within thirty
days of the opening day Of school or
during the term without having the
certificate issued revoked. The law
also prohibits the teacher accepting
another position in the state within
one year.
Heretofore the teacher has held
the district by an iron clad contract,
but the right. has always been ex-
tended the teacher to resign at any
time. County schools have been
thrown into chaos several times by
teachers resigning and it seems that
the new law will protect the district.
