1Opinion of the Court
BEA ANN SMITH, Justice.
We withdraw our opinion of July 31, 1996 and substitute the following. This appeal requires that we determine the scope of review permitted the Commissioner of Education when a teacher employed under a continuing contract appeals the decision of a board of trustees in an independent school district to discharge the teacher dining the school year. 1 We hold that the relevant statutory provisions restrict the Commissioner to a substantial evidence standard of review and that the Commissioner may not review such decisions de novo.
