Syllabus

<p>Schools and School Districts (49) — Teachers — Contract — Breach. After the direct action of a school board in discharging a principal of schools had been reversed by the county superintendent, the board cannot designate a subordinate teacher as “superintendent” of schools and require the principal to work under him; and it is immaterial that Rem. Code, § 4524, provides for the election of a superintendent or principal to have charge of the schools, the position and not the name being material.</p> <p>Same (40) — Claims—Breach op Teacher’s Contract — Necessity op Appeal. Where an order discharging a principal of schools has been reversed on his appeal to the county superintendent, and the school board, by indirection, sought a reversal by offering a different employment compelling the principal to work under a “superintendent” who was formerly a teacher under him, the principal is under no obligation to take a second appeal whether the action of the board be considered another dismissal or . an offer of new employment.</p>
