The opinion

KAUFMAN, J.

I fully concur in the majority opinion. I add, however, that I find nothing in the statute or the cases or the requirement for *498 uniform treatment that requires a district to treat as a year of “experience” a year of unsatisfactory experience. Salary increases are based on experience because it is presumed that the ability to teach effectively increases with experience. However, a year of unsatisfactory experience need not be presumed to increase teaching ability or effectiveness. Unsatisfactory teaching no matter how long continued will not increase teaching ability or effectiveness.

It also seems to me that the construction of the statute so as to deny the governing boards of districts the right to make rational distinctions would raise questions as to the validity of the statute.

This is a copy of a public record, reproduced as it was published. It is not legal advice, and it may not be the version a court would rely on. Check the official source before you cite it.
