## Opinion text

OPINION ON PETITION TO REHEAR
CANTRELL, Judge.
The appellant has filed a Petition to Rehear asserting that the record does not reflect that the defendant Kersey was an employee of the School Board at the time the acts complained of in the complaint took place and therefore would not be covered by the immunity granted by T.C.A. § 49-1416(9).
*107 Since the Court concludes that this is an important factor in this case bearing on one of the reasons for the previous opinion of the Court, we are of the opinion that the Petition to Rehear should be granted and the appellees should be given fifteen days in which to respond to the matters raised in the petition.
The petition is hereby granted and the appellees are given fifteen days in which to respond to the matters raised in the petition.
TODD, P. J., and CONNER, J., concur.
