The opinion

LANIER, Judge,

concurring.

I do not agree with the majority factual holding that “[pjlaintiff failed to prove he was a certified teacher during the 1980-81 contract year; ...” The plaintiff failed to file in evidence an appropriate teacher’s certificate for the 1980-81 contract year. However, he testified he held certification since 1980-81; plaintiff’s exhibit 2-A, a special education staff sheet, shows plaintiff held a certificate in carpentry during the 1980-81 school year; and the letter of August 12, 1980, from the school to the plaintiff offered him a job contingent on proper certification. Apparently, the trial court felt this was satisfactory proof. I do not agree that this holding is manifestly erroneous.

I concur in the result reached based on Hayes v. Orleans Parish School Board, 256 La. 677 , 237 So.2d 681 (1970) and Thompson v. East Baton Rouge Parish School Board, 303 So.2d 855 (La.App. 1st Cir.1974).
