Syllabus

<p>Schools and School Districts—Contracts—Limit of Indebtedness—Employment of Teacher. Under Laws 1893, p. 266, § 3, the contract of a school district with a school teacher to teach school for a period of eight months is void, when the limit of indebtedness contracted in any one year payable out of the general fund had been reached and exceeded in the aggregate the amount apportioned for the district, as provided in said section.</p> <p>Same—Limit of Indebtedness—Necessary Expenses. The maintaining of a school for a period of eight months is not such a necessity as to render valid a teacher’s contract therefor when the indebtedness incurred exceeded the limit authorized by law.</p>
