Thomas v. Board of Education

Supreme Court of New Jersey
Apr 4, 1966
46 N.J. 581 (N.J. 1966)

Opinion

Argued March 8, 1966 —

Decided April 4, 1966.

Mr. Abraham Natovitz argued the cause for appellant.

Mr. Bertram Polow argued the cause for respondent ( Mr. Robert J. DelTufo, on the brief).


The judgment is affirmed substantially for the reasons expressed in the majority opinion of the Appellate Division. 89 N.J. Super. 327 ( App. Div. 1965). We reserve, however, the question whether mere execution of the three-year contract of employment entered into on August 18, 1961 between Thomas and the Board of Education, even if it had been a valid one, would have given tenure to Thomas.

For affirmance — Chief Justice WEINTRAUB and Justices JACOBS, FRANCIS, PROCTOR, HALL and SCHETTINO — 6.

For reversal — None.
