Nenana City School District v. Coghill

OPINION

COMPTON, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

A tenured teacher’s teaching certificate lapsed for part of a school year, but was renewed before the year ended. The local school board held a hearing, after which it concluded that the lapse revoked her tenure, and that the teacher had been overpaid during the lapse period.
