Description
Plaintiff, Jennifer Johnson, a teacher in the Decatur high schools, sought a declaratory judgment and a writ of mandamus in the circuit court of Macon County. She alleged that she had been dismissed by the board of education of Decatur School District No. 61 of Macon County in violation of section 24-12 of the School Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 122, par. 24-12), which accords certain rights to those teachers who have entered upon continued contractual service (tenure). The circuit court found that plaintiff had not achieved tenure and denied the reinstatement and damages requested by her. The appellate court affirmed. (87 Ill. App.3d 441.) We granted plaintiff's petition for leave to appeal.
