Court rules seniority plays final role in teacher hiring
Supreme Court rules county boards must consider seniority last when selecting teachers, using best professional judgment on qualifications and past service. The decision upholds a Wood County case denying Donald Enoch a summer teaching post in 1989 and limits seniority as a primary basis. It also shields the state from suits over road or bridge defects stemming from a 1988 accident.
