What is the test for an action against a board of trustees by a principal of a school?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from California School Employees Assn. v. Personnel Commission, 106 Cal.Rptr. 283, 30 Cal.App.3d 241 (Cal. App. 1973):

'An action will lie against a board of trustees by the principal of schools, whom they have unlawfully deprived of his employment, in breach of his contract, and where it appears that he was ready and willing to perform the duties required and Could not and did not obtain other employment, his damages will be measured by the sum he would have received under the contract.' (At p. 553, 107 P. at p. 1013; emphasis added.)

Still another old case, Ross v. Board of Education (1912) 18 Cal.App. 222, 122 P. 967, stated in dicta:
