Ranta v. Eaton Rapids Public Schools Board of Education

This case is before us on remand from our Supreme Court, which, in lieu of granting leave to appeal, remanded it to us for consideration as on leave granted. Ranta v Eaton Rapids Public Schools Bd of Ed, 471 Mich 916 (2004). The Court has directed us “to pay particular attention to whether the State Tenure Commission [STC] had jurisdiction over this dispute. See, e.g., Farrimond v Bd of Ed of East Jordan, 138 Mich App 51[; 359 NW2d 245] (1984).” Id. We reverse and remand to the STC for entry of an order dismissing this case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.
