LEVINE, Justice,
concurring.
I dissented in Law v. Mandan Public School Dist., 411 N.W.2d 375 (N.D.1987), because Law’s credentials and experience were not compared with other teachers’. Here, I am satisfied that the record establishes the fact that the school board was informed of Kent’s certification, experience and qualification in comparison to the other elementary teachers. Therefore, I join the majority.
I also agree with Justice VandeWalle’s concurrence, sharing his concern over the school board’s cavalier disregard of its obligation to rehire Kent, if possible, illustrated by its failure to accommodate Kent in *292filling the vacant position by rearranging coaching duties. However, as Justice VandeWalle observes, the issue was neither argued nor litigated and so we have no occasion to resolve it.
