Jurkovich v. Independent School District No. 708

OPINION

SHORT, Judge.

Respondent school board discontinued relator Peter Jurkovich’s 1.0 full time equivalency (FTE) tenured position as superintendent, placed him on unrequested leave of absence (ULA) at the end of the 1990-1991 school year, and then offered to reinstate him in a combined .5 FTE non-tenured superintendent and .5 FTE tenured principal position for 1991-1992. On appeal, Jur-kovich argues the school board violated Minn.Stat. § 125.12 (1990) and acted upon an erroneous theory of law in failing to reinstate him in a 1.0 FTE tenured position. We reverse and remand.
