- explaining the distinction between school year, which denotes a period of 12 calendar months, and school term

Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Although I concur with the majority in the result of this opinion, I continue to have concerns as expressed in my special concurrence in Haymes, supra. I also note that Haymes involved notification of intent to transfer given in August 1991, and we affirmed the trial court's judgment in favor of the Commission; however, this case involves notification given in July 1991, and we are reversing the trial court's judgment in favor of the Commission. Because of this and because of the possibility of other pending cases which were decided in reliance upon prior holdings of this court, I would apply this decision prospectively from the date of this opinion.
