ON SUGGESTION FOR REHEARING EN BANC

(Opinion August 27, 1986, 798 F.2d 748)

Before GEE, CAROLYN DINEEN KING, * and GARWOOD, Circuit Judges. GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:

Seeking rehearing, appellee Jett complains of our decision herein that responde-at superior is not a legally valid basis for imposition of liability on the school district under 42 U.S.C. § 1981, and asserts that this holding conflicts with our opinion in Garner v. Giarrusso, 571 F.2d 1330 (5th Cir.1978). Rejecting these contentions, we nevertheless deem appropriate some further explanation of our holding in this respect.
